Jill LandesEDUCATION: J.D., Seattle University, 1993 Teachers Certification, CalPoly Pomona, 1975 B.A., Cal State Fullerton, 1973

LEGAL/JUDICIAL EXPERIENCE: I began my legal career as an Assistant City Attorney for the City of Tacoma’s Criminal Division in 1994 with an emphasis on prosecuting Domestic Violence cases. Since then I have worked for Prosecutors in the counties of Pierce (as a misdemeanor deputy), Jefferson (with 5 years as Chief Criminal Deputy) and Clallam (as Supervisor of Juvenile and District Court) and as a Senior Deputy Prosecutor.

Candidate Statement: Becoming Jefferson County's District Court Judge would be the culmination of a career spent in public service. My prior work experiences within prison systems, DCFS, and schools have given me a perspective unique to criminal justice, allowing for a balanced view of those who would appear before me. As a deputy prosecutor for thirteen years I have a reputation for handling large caseloads efficiently and being tough yet fair. I’ll bring those same qualities to the position of District Court Judge. Endorsements include the Hon. Mark Huth (Jefferson County) and the Hon. Anna Laurie (Kitsap County).
