Complaint Dropped Against Kandiyohi County Judge

(Minnesota News Network- Willmar, MN) — Complaints against Kandiyohi County Judge Jennifer Fischer have been dismissed following her decision to retire. The Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards had accused her of violating a prior disciplinary agreement by retaliating against colleagues, filing baseless complaints, and making inappropriate remarks about other judges. Fischer denied wrongdoing, claiming retaliation for whistleblowing and medical leave. She was removed from hearing duties and reassigned to administrative work. Her retirement ends the disciplinary process. Fischer was appointed in 2013, and her term was set to expire in 2027.
