Superior Court President Judge Jan R. Jurden administered the Oath of Office in Courtroom 1 at the Sussex County Courthouse in Georgetown.

Karsnitz's children and wife also participated in the swearing-in, holding the Bible and assisting in the robing, respectively.

Before assuming his new role, Karsnitz was a partner at Wilmington-based Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, a position he held for 40 years, according to a press release.
