Theo Angelis sworn in as WA Supreme Court justice
Theo Angelis is Washington’s newest state Supreme Court justice.
While he has been on the court for about six weeks, Angelis was formally sworn in Monday in a ceremony at the Temple of Justice in Olympia. Gov. Bob Ferguson appointed him to the role in March.
“Anyone who’s ever worked with Justice Angelis will say the same thing,” Ferguson said Monday. “For such a brilliant legal mind, he’s also the nicest guy you will ever want to meet.”
Angelis is replacing retired Justice Barbara Madsen, who had been on the court since 1993. She was the first woman elected to the court and served as chief justice from 2010 to 2017.
