On Monday, February 17, 2025, Governor Kevin Stitt announced the appointment of Sean Karl Hill as the associate district judge for Oklahoma’s Fourth Judicial District.

“Sean Hill has dedicated his career to public service, upholding the law, and protecting Oklahomans from dangerous criminals,” said Governor Stitt. “He was a great prosecutor, and he will be an even greater judge. Sean served his state with honor and I’m proud to appoint him to the bench.”

As the supervising attorney at the Garfield County District Attorney’s Office, Hill trained new employees, oversaw daily operations, and managed his own caseload, primarily prosecuting homicides, violent crimes, and felony drug crimes. Prior to his service in the Garfield County DA’s office, Hill defended worker’s compensation claims at Pierce, Couch, Hendrickson, Baysinger, and Green LLP. Hill has also served as an assistant attorney general in the Grand Jury Unit of the Oklahoma Office of the Attorney General and as an assistant district attorney in Tulsa County.

“As an associate district judge, I will follow the law, safeguard the rights of all appearing before me, and see justice carried out,” said Hill. “I am honored by the trust Governor Stitt has placed in me and look forward to serving my state in this new capacity.”

Hill graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2005 before going on to earn his law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2009. Hill and his wife Lori reside in Enid, OK.
