Steve Paciorka hugs his daughter, Ingrid, and son, Ivan, after doning his robe as 13th Circuit Court judge for the fi rst time. Paciorka’s wife, Jenn, their friends and other family members, and court and government staff fi lled the stands in a courtroom to watch his investiture at the county government center Friday. Paciorka was juvenile and domestic circuit court referee before getting elected Nov. 5. He ran unopposed, as the outgoing circuit court judge, Marian Kromkowski, could not run again because the state constitution says judges cannot be elected after reaching 70 years old.
