GREAT FALLS â Governor Greg Gianforte on Wednesday announced that he is appointing David Grubich to serve on the Eighth Judicial District Court in Great Falls.
Grubich will fill the vacancy left when the Montana State Senate declined to confirm Michele Reinhart Levine, who was appointed to the bench in November 2020.
He will be sworn in to serve on the Montana Eighth Judicial District soon, and he will be up for election in 2022.
Grubich graduated from the University of Montana in 2007, and the UM School of Law in 2010. He has served as District Standing Master with the Montana Eighth Judicial District Court since August 2018. Before that time, he served in private practice in Great Falls.
Grubich Nomination
Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte is for the first time flexing a new power to appoint judges after the 2021 Legislature scrapped a decades-old nomination process. The governor has picked a new judge for a vacant post on the Cascade County District court bench.
Gianforte appointed attorney David Grubich to take over the Eighth Judicial District judgeship.
Grubich has served as a standing master, or a stand-in for court proceedings, since 2018. He’s worked in private practice in Great Falls since 2010 and has a background in law enforcement.
The Cascade County judgeship will be up for election in 2022, meaning Grubich will have to run to retain the seat.
