Pleasant Grove City Council appoints Brooke Larson as new justice court judge

Pleasant Grove City Council made a significant move during their meeting on March 4, 2025, by appointing Brooke Larson as the new judge for the Pleasant Grove City Justice Court. Larson, a seasoned prosecutor with extensive experience in various justice courts, expressed her enthusiasm for the role, stating, "I have a passion for criminal justice... and I plan to be here in Pleasant Grove for a really long time."

The council unanimously approved her appointment after a brief introduction where Larson shared her background in law and her commitment to serving the community. Councilmember Williams made the motion for her appointment, which was seconded by Councilmember Ramon, and the vote was met with an enthusiastic "aye" from all present.

Larson's training will include a half-day session followed by hands-on mentorship with experienced judges. She is expected to complete her training and be sworn in after passing an exam and receiving approval from the judicial commission on March 13.

The council looks forward to welcoming Larson officially at their next meeting, where a more formal swearing-in ceremony will take place. This appointment marks a pivotal step for the city as it continues to strengthen its judicial system and community service.
