Gov. Doug Burgum has appointed Bismarck attorney Jackson Lofgren to a judgeship in the South Central Judicial District.

The native of McLaughlin, South Dakota, will fill the vacancy created by the appointment of Justice Doug Bahr to the North Dakota Supreme Court.

Prior to his time in private practice, Lofgren served in the public sector, initially with the Burleigh County Child Support Enforcement Unit and then as an assistant state’s attorney in Morton County from 2008 to 2013.

Lofgren has tried numerous cases to jury verdict and has handled multiple appeals to the North Dakota Supreme court.

Lofgren grew up on the Standing Rock Reservation. He earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Northern State University in Aberdeen … and his law degree in 2006 from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion.
