The Great Falls Tribune reports that Dorsey partner Keith Strong has been named U.S. magistrate judge for the Great Falls Division of Montana federal courts. He was selected by Montana's three federal judges, Chief U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy and U.S. District Judges Richard Cebull and Sam Haddon.
Molloy said Strong had an excellent reputation among Montana lawyers and judges, both as a "really good person" and as someone with a powerful legal intellect. Strong will be sworn in on January 6, 2007.
