Quota Club of Northern Colorado was pleased to have the honorable, retired Larimer District Court Judge, Julie Kunce Field, as our speaker for March’s dinner meeting at CB Potts. Judge Field, an alumna of University of Chicago Law school, was appointed to the district court in 2011. During her term, Judge Field presided over domestic relations, civil, juvenile, and criminal cases. She was instrumental in establishing Wellness Court, an award-winning interdisciplinary specialized court program that seeks to reduce recidivism of persons with mental illness by supporting their long- term recovery.

Judge Fields is currently serving as Vice President of the Health District of Northern Larimer County. The Health District of Northern Larimer County is a special tax district created by voters in 1960 to serve community health needs. Today, the Health District provides dental care, behavioral health, and assistance with health insurance enrollment and literacy. The Health District is supported by property taxes, lease payments from University of Colorado Health, interest income, and fees from clients.  Currently, the Health District is going through a streamlining to a new “Strategic Plan” and Judge Field is quite excited about the journey.

Additionally, Judge Field has and does serve as a mediator in various disputes and is part of a multidisciplinary network of family law professionals.
