This photo, taken in November 2015, shows Chris Seldin, center, during his swearing-in ceremony as a 9th Judicial District judge. Seldin was sworn on the steps of the Pitkin County Courthouse. He announced earlier this year he would not seek retention, and his position was vacated Oct. 5. Gov. Jared Polis recently appointed Pitkin County Deputy Attorney Laura C. Makar to take Seldin’s seat. Courtesy of Aspen Public Radio
