Corinne Magid

Corinne Magid was appointed to the Jefferson County Court in March 2019. Most of her docket is criminal, made up of misdemeanor and traffic cases, and in 2024 she began assisting in the county court civil division. Her peers nominated her and the chief judge appointed her presiding judge of the county court, a post she held during the current evaluation period. Voters retained her in 2022 with 70.59 percent of the votes cast on the question: 155,572 yes and 64,810 no.

Before her appointment she was presiding judge for the municipal courts of Golden and Northglenn and a magistrate for Denver County Court, and she worked as a law clerk for the Court of Appeals and as a prosecutor. She earned her undergraduate degree from Colorado State University in 2000 and her law degree from Boston University in 2003. She volunteers with the Colorado Women's Bar Association's Lawyers Teaching for Change program, visiting elementary schools to talk about the legal system.

The First Judicial District Commission on Judicial Performance voted 10 to 0 that she meets performance standards. It reports a limited number of survey responses and writes that among the non-attorneys who responded, "a good portion of those were jurors, whose feedback was positive."

The commission writes that "Judge Magid is described as prepared, fair, kind, respectful, and compassionate." It reports that during the interim period she "was given feedback that she needed to assert her role in courtroom management of parties when necessary." It adds: "She took this feedback and has made improvements." It writes that it "commends Judge Magid for her innovation and creativity and encourages her to continue with her efforts in systems improvement."
