Gov. Scott Walker appointed attorney John Yackel to be the new Lincoln County Circuit Court Judge in Branch II, according to an announcement Thursday.

Yackel is a private practice attorney who received his law degree from Marquette University in 2000. He then completed a clerkship with the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and worked as an attorney at Wendorff, Ellison & David and Levit-Jones Law Offices before establishing his own firm in Wausau in July.

He will replace Lincoln County Judge Glenn Hartley, who is retiring.
