Biography

The Hon. Shelly A. Seymour is a judge for the Superior Court of Merced County in California. She was appointed to the bench by former Governor Jerry Brown on October 11, 2018, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Harry L. Jacobs.

Seymour earned a B.A. in accounting and political science from Loras College. She then completed a J.D. from the University of Iowa College of Law in 1986.

She began her legal career as an associate at Dumbaugh and Childers PC in 1986. Two years later, she relocated to California, accepting a position as a law clerk at Cyril Lawrence Inc. Then, after passing the California State Bar, she joined Canelo, Hansen and Wilson as an associate. She practiced there for the next eight years, eventually leaving to start her own private practice as a sole practitioner handling family law matters.

Then, in 2008, Seymour left the private sector to work as a facilitator and self-help attorney for the Superior Court of Merced County. She would spend the remainder of her legal career with the Superior Court of California, first as a family law commissioner for the Superior Court of Mariposa County from 2012 to 2014, and then as a family law commissioner for the Superior Court of Merced County from 2014 to 2018.

She is registered as a Democrat.
