Circuit Judge Kathleen Trandahl of Winner related her experiences as a judge to the Winner High School government classes on Nov. 4.  She has served as a judge in the Sixth Judicial Circuit for 21 years. She was appointed by the late governor Walter Dale Miller in 1994.

She recalls the day she received the telephone call telling her of her appointment.  Trandahl was attending a funeral at the Methodist Church in Winner and was told she had 15 minutes to get home and take a phone call from the governor.  “I was thrilled to get that call,” she said.
