J Field Mediation

The Honorable Julie Kunce Field (ret.) retired from the trial court bench in the 8th Judicial District for Colorado in 2021, after almost 11 years, to co-found the Consilium® Institute and J. Field Mediation. Judge Field is recognized throughout Colorado and nationally for her leadership and trainings on issues related to domestic relations, domestic violence, mental health, mediation, trial practice, and judicial and community education. Before her appointment to the bench, Judge Field was a law professor and law clinic director at the University of Michigan, Washburn Law School, and the University of Denver. She founded the Confidentiality Institute in 2001, which focused on the law and ethics related to privacy and safety for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. As a trial judge, she presided over a mixed docket of felony, complex civil litigation, domestic relations, appeals, and child abuse and neglect, among other cases. She created and oversaw the award-winning Wellness Court, a unique mental health problem-solving court. Judge Field received her B.A. from the University of Nebraska and her J.D. from the University of Chicago. Judge Field’s three passions are (1) helping people figure out things they can’t decide for themselves; (2) teaching; and (3) changing the world for the better. All three of those passions are achievable for Judge Field and for all family law professionals through the innovative Consilium® Institute.
