SALT LAKE CITY (Jan. 15, 2024) – Governor Cox has appointed Robert Van Dyke to the Sixth District Court, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Bagley. Judicial appointments are subject to confirmation by the Utah Senate.
“Robert’s extensive legal experience and deep commitment to his community make him an exceptional choice for the bench,” said Gov. Cox. “As the Kane County Attorney, he has demonstrated a strong dedication to justice, particularly through his work establishing programs that support both crime victims and at-risk youth. I am confident that Robert will bring the same integrity and commitment to the Sixth District Court, serving the people of Utah with fairness and professionalism.”
Robert has served as the Kane County Attorney for over a decade, and during that time, he has made significant contributions to the legal and broader community. He was instrumental in the creation of the Kane County Drug Court, the Children’s Justice Center and the Sexual Assault Response Team. Additionally, Robert founded the youth soccer league in Kane County over ten years ago, demonstrating his long-standing commitment to improving the lives of youth in his community. Robert earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law in 2009, where he was a William H. Leary Scholar. He graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in International Studies and a Music Minor from Utah State University in 2005.
"I am deeply humbled and honored to be appointed to serve as a judge for the Sixth District Court. It has been a privilege to serve the people of Kane County as the Kane County Attorney, and I am grateful for the trust placed in me throughout my career. If confirmed, I will strive to uphold the highest standards of fairness, integrity and respect for all who come before the court, dedicating myself to the thoughtful and impartial administration of justice."
