Tags: Judge.

Edward D. Chip Robertson Jr. is a former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri. Robertson was 33 years old when then-Governor John Ashcroft picked him to serve on the court and he served from 1985 to 1998. His appointment – Ashcroft’s first to the high court – led to claims that the non-partisan Missouri Plan for appointing judges was actually a highly partisan process; twenty years later Robertson would join opposition to Republican efforts to dismantle the system.
