Dianna M. Gibson took the Third District Court bench in 2019 following her 2018 appointment. Her earlier career included an appellate clerkship, litigation at Parsons Behle & Latimer and in-house legal leadership at publicly traded companies. She earned psychology, communication and law degrees at the University of Utah.
A 2018 ballot initiative, a court fight that began in 2022 and a failed repeal drive produced the map Utah votes under on Nov. 3, including a Salt Lake County district that leans Democratic.
