Judge John H. Guthmann: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Appointed By: Gov. Timothy J. Pawlenty

Biography

The Hon. John H. Guthmann is a judge for the 2nd Judicial District Court of Minnesota. He was appointed to the bench by former Governor Tim Pawlenty on January 31, 2008, filling in a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. A. James Dickinson.


Over the course of his judicial career, Guthmann has held assignments as the Chief Judge for the 2nd Judicial District. He has presided over the Criminal Division and the Civil Division of the 2nd Judicial District, and has served as a member of the Treatment Court Initiative, the Interpreter Services Workgroup, and the Ramsey County Mental Health Court.


Guthmann earned a bachelor’s degree in history and political science from Cornell College in 1976. He then completed a J.D. at William Mitchell College of Law in 1980. As a law student, Guthmann clerked for the Hon. Harold Kalina of the 4th Judicial District Court and served as editor-in-chief of the William Mitchell Law Review.


After graduating from law school, Guthmann began his legal career as a law clerk to the Hon. Robert Sheran of the Minnesota Supreme Court. He served in that capacity until 1981, at which time he entered into private practice at Hansen, Dordell, Bradt, Odlaug & Bradt in Arden Hills. During his tenure there, he rose through the ranks, becoming a partner (1990) and a managing partner (1998).


His memberships have included the Ramsey County Bar Association, the Minnesota State Bar Association, and the Minnesota Defense Lawyers Association. He has also been involved with the Minnesota Special Education Task Force, the Coalition for Children with Disabilities, the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, the Rotary Club of St. Paul, and the Governor’s Interagency Coordinating Council on Early Childhood Intervention.


He is a recipient of the Norma G. Hexter Outstanding Volunteer Award from the PACER Center (1999), the Silver Beaver Award from the Indianhead Council of the Boy Scouts of America (2002), and the Founders Award from the Agaming Lodge of the Order of the Arrow of the Boy Scouts of America (1989).


A resident of St. Paul, Minnesota, Guthmann and his wife, Teresa, have three children.
