A press release from the Governor’s Office announced on Tuesday that Governor Cox has appointed Cameron Beech to the Eighth District Court, filling the vacancy created by Judge Clark McClellan’s retirement. “Cameron’s dedication to justice and his deep ties to the Uintah Basin exemplify the qualities we value in our justice system,” shared Cox. “I am confident he will continue to uphold the highest standards of the Eighth Judicial District.” Cameron Beech is an attorney at Campbell Williams Beech & Hall and is also Vernal City’s hearing and variance officer and former Vernal City prosecutor. “I am grateful and humbled to be appointed by Governor Cox to the Eighth District Court,” says Beech. “It has been the honor of my life to work for the great people of the Uintah Basin throughout my career. If I’m fortunate enough to be confirmed, I look forward to continuing to serve my community as a District Court Judge, and will always work to promote the Utah Judiciary’s institutional commitment to justice, fairness, integrity and faithful application of the law.” Judicial appointments are subject to confirmation by the Utah Senate.
