Biography

Hon. Trace C. Sherrill is an associate district judge for the Bryan County District Court (District 19) in Oklahoma. He was elected to the position in 2018.

Sherrill began his judicial career as a special judge in Bryan County, a position he held for twenty-four years prior to his election. As a special judge, he heard cases involving criminal, civil, mental health, and family law matters.

Before joining the bench, Sherrill had managed his own private solo practice.

He received a B.S. from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in 1989. Sherrill went on to complete a J.D. at the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 1992.

He was a past vice-president of the Bryan County Bar Association and sat as a member of the Oklahoma Judicial Conference Executive Committee.

He received recognition from the Crisis Control Center and the Bryan County CASA program for his service as a special judge. Sherrill is also the recipient of the Honorable Donald Deason Judicial Award by the Oklahoma Bar Association’s Criminal Law Section in 2018.

In 2006, he was commissioned in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps with the United States Army Reserve. Sherrill later transferred to the Oklahoma National Guard in 2016, after which time he served as the Brigade Judge Advocate for the 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT). The following year, he was deployed to Ukraine to serve as the Command Judge Advocate with elements of the 45th IBCT.

Sherrill and his wife, Dena, have two grown children.
