Judge Polin with her family at Manito Park

I love our Spokane community.

This is our home and where my husband George Gagnon—a 27-year veteran of the Spokane County Prosecutor’s office—and I are raising our family. I am honored to serve as the current Spokane County Superior Court Judge, Position 8, and look forward to continuing to serve our community.

Attending law school was my childhood dream.

After I graduated from college, My Uncle Larry, a lawyer, helped me study for the law school entrance exams. Together we traveled across the country touring schools from Alabama to New Mexico, Montana to Washington State, before deciding upon Gonzaga Law School. (Go Zags!)

I never looked back!

Somewhere in the back of my closet, I still have the black suit Uncle Larry bought for me to wear at my first court appearance.

One of the greatest days of my life was when Uncle Larry put my robe on me at my investiture as I was sworn in as a Spokane County Superior Court Judge. He passed away one month later.
