About Kenneth
Kenneth M. Plotz chose to become part of the legal system to provide a civil and peaceful resolution to disputes of all magnitudes. Judge Plotz earned his undergraduate and law degree from the University of Denver and will soon complete his master’s degree in public affairs at the University of Colorado Denver. In 2000, Judge Plotz attended the National Judicial College, where he studied advanced family law issues on a scholarship provided by the College. Over the past fifteen years Judge Plotz has taught various courses in law for Colorado Mountain College. He regularly participates as a judge for "We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution," a statewide program to engender interest in the Constitution at the high-school level.
Judge Plotz recently served as chief judge for the Eleventh Judicial District in Colorado. While there, he instituted a case management system that improved the flow of cases throughout the district and promoted the early resolution of civil, domestic and probate cases. During his tenure on the bench, Judge Plotz actively participated as a settlement judge. He has been successful in settling numerous construction industry cases, personal injury cases and domestic cases. As chief judge, he instituted a system of settlement conferences before the magistrates in the district as well as requiring mediation in most civil cases.
As the result of years of judicial experience, he now serves on assignment as a senior judge throughout the state of Colorado. After serving fifteen years on the district bench, Judge Plotz feels privileged to have the opportunity to take cases and nurture them to resolution.
