ST. PAUL (AP) -- Gov. Tim Walz has appointed Ramsey County Assistant Chief Judge Jennifer Frisch to the Minnesota Court of Appeals.

Frisch will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of the chief judge on the appeals court, Edward Cleary.

Walz calls her "an impartial, fair jurist" with an unwavering commitment to justice.
