After nearly three decades with the Utah State Courts — the last two as its top administrator — Richard H. Schwermer is retiring.

“It has been my honor and privilege to serve Utah's judiciary,” he said in the announcement Wednesday. “I hope that my efforts, along with those of my colleagues, have improved access to justice, and the public's trust and confidence in our courts.”

Schwermer, who will retire in January, has served with the Utah State Courts since 1990, and as an assistant state court administrator since 1995. He was appointed the chief state court administrator in March 2017.
