Judge Alan R. Hancock: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Island County Superior Court, Department retired

Biography

Hon. Alan R. Hancock (Ret.) was a judge for the Island County Superior Court in Washington. He joined the bench in 1989. Hancock retired in 2020.


During his tenure on the bench, he also presided as a judge for the San Juan County Superior Court until the joint judicial district was dissolved in 2008. In addition, Hancock helped implement several programs, including the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) in dependency cases, therapeutic drug courts, family law mediation, parenting seminars, telephonic court appearances, and a court facilitator program.


Prior to joining the Superior Court, he had worked as a private practice attorney in Oak Harbor since 1985. He entered the private sector after working for several years as a deputy prosecuting attorney in Island County (1976 to 1984).


Hancock received a B.A. from Western Washington University in 1973. He then completed a J.D. at the University of Washington School of Law in 1976.


His memberships included the Washington State Supreme Court’s Ethics Advisory Committee (past chair) and its Code of Judicial Conduct Task Force (co-chair) as well as the Board of Trustees of the Superior Court Judges’ Association.


From a civic standpoint, Hancock was a member of the Coupeville United Methodist Church, the Navy League of the United States, the Central Whidbey Lions Club, the Island County Historical Society, the San Juan County Historical Society, and the Kenmore & District Pipe Board.


He is a recipient of the Outstanding Judge of the Year Award from the Washington State Bar Association.


After retiring from the bench, Hancock hoped to spend more time working on his ancestral farm in Central Whidbey. A portion of the 90-acre farm was originally purchased by his family in 1886 and the remainder in 1906. He and his wife, Elizabeth, have two grown children. In his free time, Hancock enjoys playing the bagpipes and bicycling.
