Judge Jalilah Otto: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Appointed By: Gov. Eric R. Greitens

Biography

The Hon. Jalilah Otto is a judge for the 16th Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri. She was appointed to the bench by former Governor Eric Greitens in 2017, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Robert M. Schieber.


Prior to her appointment, Otto presided as an associate judge for the 16th Judicial Circuit, a position to which she was named in 2014. Before that, she spent time as the Chief Trial Assistant for the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office (2013 to 2014).


Otto earned a bachelor’s degree in communications and political science from Tulane University in 1999. She then completed a J.D. at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law in 2002.


After graduating from law school, Otto began her legal career as a judicial law clerk to the Hon. Lisa White Hardwick of the Missouri Court of Appeals. She served in that capacity until 2005, at which time she became an assistant prosecuting attorney with the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office. Then, in 2010, she joined the Office of the United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, where she prosecuted large-scale narcotic and gang cases as a Special Assistant United States Attorney.


Her memberships have included the Jackson County Bar Association (president), the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association, and the Association of Women Lawyers. She has been involved with the Kansas City Commission on Violent Crimes, the Kansas City Municipal Ethics Commission, the Kansas City Youth Court, and the Missouri Bar’s Committee on Minority Issues. She has also served on the Board of Directors of Amethyst Place and Awesome Ambitions.


Otto was born and raised in Kansas City.
