During this time, Erickson also served as an Assistant City Attorney for West Fargo, ND where he prosecuted in both Municipal and County Court.<\/p>\n<p>In 1993, Erickson was appointed a Cass County Magistrate, presiding over cases involving mental health, misdemeanors, infractions, and small claims. In 1994, he was appointed County Judge serving a multi-county district including Traill, Steele, Nelson, Griggs, and Cass Counties in Eastern ND, with his chambers in Hillsboro, ND. In 1994, Erickson was selected to the East Central Judicial District bench where he sat primarily in Fargo, ND. He served in that capacity until his appointment to the federal bench in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Erickson was nominated by former President George W. Bush to be a U.S. District Judge for the District of North Dakota on September 12, 2002. His nomination died with the expiration of the 107th Congress. He was re-nominated by President George W. Bush on January 7, 2003, confirmed by the U.S. Senate on March 12, 2003, and assumed office on March 14, 2003. Erickson served primarily in the Eastern Divisions of North Dakota. He served as District Judge until October 12, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Erickson has long been active in issues related to Native Americans in the federal courts as well as ethics and judicial conduct.

Webb Distinguished Jurist-in-Residence program brings prominent judges from across the state and the country to UND School of Law to engage with our law school community and share their expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Jurists visit for either a single day or a multi-day engagement that includes class visits, informal receptions, a presentation by the judge on a topic of their choice, and a dinner honoring the Distinguished Jurist. The Jurist-in-Residence program provides a unique and varied opportunity to learn about the bench and greatly adds to the law school experience of our students, faculty, and staff.<\/p>\n<p>The Rodney S. Webb Distinguished Jurist-in-Residence Program was established in 2007. The inaugural jurist in 2007 was the late Rodney S. Webb, United States District Judge for the District of North Dakota. Through the encouragement and financial contributions of UND School of Law alumni and Judge Rodney S. Webb&#8217;s former clerks, the program has been permanently named in his honor.<\/p>\n<h3>Past Jurists-in-Residence<\/h3>\n<h6>Hon. Rodney S.
