Marin County Superior Court Judges




Qualifications and Selection of Commissioners:

Commissioners must be practicing attorneys for a minimum of ten years before becoming eligible to serve on the Bench. Commissioners are subordinate judicial officers, appointed by the Judges, to preside over certain types of cases, conduct trials, and perform other functions authorized by law. Commissioners hear cases and render decisions, much like judges do, but there are certain types of cases that may only be heard by judges. Typically, in Marin, the Commissioners hear misdemeanor, traffic, small claims, child support enforcement, family law, juvenile dependency and delinquency, and probate matters.
