Theodora Gaïtas
ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO/Learfield) – Governor Tim Walz is appointing Justice Theodora Gaïtas as the next chief justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Gaïtas will fill the vacancy of Chief Justice Natalie Hudson when she retires in September.
“She brings a rare breadth of experience, having served at every level of our state’s judiciary, and will be the first public defender to serve as chief justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court.” Walz said.
Gaïtas was born in Minnesota, lived in Greece through high school, and attended college and law school at the University of Minnesota. Walz also appointed Judge Reynaldo Aligada Jr. as an associate justice to succeed Gaïtas on the state’s high court.
