Angela Doyle, of Fort Dodge, has been appointed to serve as a district court judge by Gov. Kim Reynolds.

The announcement on Doyle’s appointment was made Friday.

She will be presiding as a district court judge in District 2B, which includes Boone, Calhoun, Carroll, Greene, Hamilton, Hardin, Humboldt, Marshall, Pocahontas, Sac, Story, Webster and Wright counties.

Prior to her appointment, Doyle was a district associate court judge, a position she’s held since 2011.

In her role as a district associate court judge, Doyle presided over court cases involving class D felonies, serious and aggravated misdemeanors, as well as juvenile court.

In 2009, Doyle opened her law office, which was located in the Snell Building, 805 Central Ave. She practiced law in association with Jerry L. Schnurr III, James E. Fitzgerald and Ernest Kersten, an association of sole practitioners.

She had previously spent almost 12 years with Bennett, Crimmins and Yung, a position she began in 1997.

And in 1990, she practiced with Kersten and Carlson, and spent seven years there.

She also clerked for a Nebraska Supreme Court chief justice and then worked for a law firm in Omaha.

Doyle received her undergraduate and law degrees from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
