Steven Lautt sworn in as district judge in Ward County
Minot has a new face on the bench. Local attorney Steven Lautt, appointed by Governor Kelly Armstrong in June, was sworn in as district judge for the North Central Judicial District, succeeding longtime Judge Douglas Mattson. Lautt, a Minot native with 13 years in civil law at Pringle & Herigstad, called the oath both “solemn and sobering,” but also a source of joy. Surrounded by family, colleagues, and state leaders at the Ward County Courthouse, he pledged to uphold a justice system he described as “excellent and worthy of preserving.” Megan Topping with KX News has the full story.
