Biography

The Hon. Michael J. Jurkovich is a judge for the Superior Court of Madera County in California. He was appointed to the bench by former Governor Jerry Brown on November 29, 2012, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Eric C. Wyatt.

At this time, he pursued a career in law enforcement, first serving as a correctional officer with the Sheriff’s Department of Fresno County from 1978 to 1981. He then became a police officer for the City of Madera Police Department, a position he held until he completed his J.D. from San Joaquin College of Law in 1990.
