Peter Maassen has been selected as the Alaska Supreme Court’s next chief justice.
Maassen, who has served on the court since 2012, will assume the role when current Chief Justice Daniel Winfree turns 70 and retires in February. The Alaska Constitution mandates that judges retire at 70. Justice Maassen was selected to take the role by a majority vote from his fellow Supreme Court justices, the Alaska Court System said in a statement Tuesday. Originally from Michigan, Maassen was an attorney in private practice in Anchorage from the early 1980s until he was appointed to the state’s highest court in 2012.
Alaska’s five-member Supreme Court is in the midst of a series of departures. In 2020, former Chief Justice Craig Stowers retired.
