GILLOON, Frank, Jr. (Dubuque, IA,- ). In 1963 Iowa Governor Norman Erbe appointed Gilloon one of Iowa's first municipal court judges. The municipal court replaced an old system of justice using non-lawyer justices of the peace to handle minor cases. Municipal judges later became members of the state district court system. As an associate judge, Gilloon devoted most of his time to traffic cases and misdemeanors.
