Richard Lavery is preparing to take over a district judgeship in Sweetwater County. Gov. Matt Mead last week tapped Lavery to succeed retiring Third Judicial District Judge Jere Ryckman. Ryckman retired Monday after more than 23 years on the bench. Lavery says he's not sure yet when he'll be sworn in. Lavery grew up in Rock Springs and has been working as a lawyer in Evanston. He received his law degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., in 1981. Mead thanked Ryckman for his service to the state. The governor says Lavery has a keen mind, wide professional experience and the proper temperament to serve as a judge.
