US District Judge Clarence Brimmer retires at 90

U.S. District Judge Clarence A. Brimmer of Cheyenne has retired after more than 38 years on the bench. Brimmer, who turns 91 next month, was appointed by former President Gerald R. Ford in 1975. He quit hearing cases this month. Brimmer has been on senior status since 2006 but had continued to hear cases. Brimmer says he's kept working so long because he liked the work. He says he's always felt he was making a difference on the bench. He says he finally ended it a couple of weeks ago because he felt that it was time to go. Brimmer's judgeship capped a legal career that also included stints as Wyoming attorney general and U.S. Attorney for Wyoming.
