New Wyoming Supreme Court Justice sworn in

New Wyoming Supreme Court Justice sworn in 
 
SHERIDAN (WNE) — Former 4th Judicial District Judge John Fenn was officially sworn in as a Wyoming Supreme Court justice Friday, surrounded by friends, family and members of Wyoming state government. 
Appointed to the court in December 2021, Fenn left his position as 4th Judicial District Court Judge in Sheridan County to start his new role at the Wyoming Supreme Court Jan. 17. 
 “I can tell you with the utmost confidence and certainty that Judge — now Justice — Fenn is the whole package. We are indeed getting a good one, and our team remains strong,” said Justice Lynne Boomgaarden. 
Fenn recited his new oath of office — promising to obey and defend the U.S. and Wyoming constitutions — and his wife, Armella Fenn, bestowed the justice’s new black robe. 
“It’s with great honor and humility that I am here today and to serve on the Wyoming Supreme Court,” Fenn said before the crowd. “It’s also been a great honor to serve Sheridan and Johnson counties as their judge.” 
Fenn promised to continue his strict adherence to the rule of law and to retain his impartiality as a new justice. 
As Fenn took his seat with the other four justices of the Wyoming Supreme Court, Chief Justice Kate Fox offered him a warm reception.
“Welcome to the bench, Justice Fenn,” Fox said.
