FORT COLLINS — Two Fort Collins attorneys have been appointed to replace state judges voted out of office in November.
Julie Field and Stephen Howard have been appointed as judges in the judicial district based in Larimer County to replace Jolene Blair and Terrence Gilmore.
Field, executive director of the Confidentiality Institute, has practiced law since 1985. Howard has his own law practice in Fort Collins.
Voters rejected retaining Blair and Gilmore as judges. The two were prosecutors in a 1999 case in which Timothy Masters was convicted of murder in a woman’s fatal stabbing and sentenced to life in prison.
Masters’ conviction was overturned in 2008.
