Biography

The Hon. Michelle H. Ladouceur is a judge on the St. Lawrence County Surrogate’s Court in the 4th Judicial District of New York. She was appointed to the bench by Governor Kathy Hochul on June 3, 2022, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. John F. Richey.

Over the course of her judicial career, Ladouceur has held assignments as an acting justice of the St. Lawrence County Supreme Court, a position to which she was designated by Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas (2024 to present).

After graduating from law school, Ladouceur began her legal career as an associate at Bond, Schoeneck & King. She worked in that capacity until 2000, at which time she became a partner at Cappello, Linden & Ladouceur in Potsdam. Then, in 2015, she was hired as a principal court attorney for the New York State Unified Court System.

Her memberships have included the St. Lawrence County Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association. She has also been involved with the board of directors of the United Cerebral Palsy Association of the North Country.
