New Judge Takes Bench in Santa Fe

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has appointed Dylan OReilly, a seasoned New Mexico attorney with over two decades of legal experience, to fill a newly created judgeship on the First Judicial District Court — covering Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Rio Arriba counties. Set to take the bench July 4th, OReilly brings deep legal expertise, having served as a State Bar commissioner and chaired the Board of Bar Examiners’ Rules Committee. A UNM Law graduate since 1999, he’s the second nominee selected after a rigorous vetting process — and will serve until the next general election, when voters decide his future on the bench. This appointment signals a major boost in judicial capacity for the district. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
