East Central Judicial District Presiding Judge John Irby will retire on 12/31/2024. In commenting on his time with the judiciary, Judge Irby stated, “At about 10 years into my legal career I felt that I had the ability (or the means to learn how) to serve as a judge. I was so fortunate to be given the opportunity in 2002 and to continue for the next 22+years. I have been fortunate to enjoy what I do and to enjoy the people that I did it with.“
Judge Irby’s colleagues and staff gathered at the Cass County Courthouse on December 23, 2024 to celebrate.
