Three new judicial appointments in Saskatchewan include a new judge in Swift Current, it was announced May 31.

Regina-based lawyer Alan Jacobson was appointed as a Provincial Court Judge to replace retiring Judge Michael Tomka.

The father of seven specializes in constitutional law, according to a release.

“Today’s appointments will add significant strength to Saskatchewan’s Provincial Court and ensure that it continues to provide strong, equitable access to justice across Saskatchewan,” said Justice Minister Bronwyn Eyre in a release.

Also appointed were Crown prosecutor Mitch Miller (posted to Estevan) and James Korpan, a former president of the Saskatchewan Law Society and partner in the firm McDougall Gauley (to Regina).
