Bernalillo County Probate Court

Democrat – Willow Misty Parks

Judge Willow Misty Parks has been on the probate bench since 2010 and has a clear understanding of the limits of her court’s jurisdiction and an empathy for the non-lawyers who make up the majority of people who come before her. That understanding and empathy, combined with a law degree and MBA, have allowed her to streamline the court’s business even as its new case load has increased – from 612 in 2011 to 841 in 2013. That efficiency is good news for everyone who has business with the court.

Under Parks’ steady hand, the county’s part-time judgeship runs like a full-time professional business. There is no Republican challenger; the Journal recommends Democratic voters keep her on the bench.
