Jolanda Genton
This profile shows publicly documented roles, dates and sources. Historical information is kept separate from current roles.
Profile & professional context
Sourced profile of Jolanda Genton covering her current role at the Wil District Court, vice-presidencies, the 2025 election and her earlier work at the Rorschach District Court.
Current role at the Wil District Court
The official personnel page of the Wil District Court lists Jolanda Genton among the judges with permanent employment. This provides a current primary source for her judicial role. The personnel page was last updated on 4 February 2026.
The court organisation page also lists Genton as vice-president of the first division, which is identified as the family-law division, and as vice-president of the second division, which covers other civil law and debt enforcement and bankruptcy matters. That page was last updated on 5 February 2026.
Election and move to Wil
In 2025 the Canton of St.Gallen published the replacement election for a full-time or part-time judicial post at the Wil District Court. One valid candidacy was filed, so the election was uncontested. The official notice names Jolanda Genton as elected.
The courts' 2025 annual report records that Dominik Weiss resigned effective 31 January 2026 and that Jolanda Genton was elected as his successor. The election notice, annual report and current staff list therefore form a consistent timeline.
Earlier work at the Rorschach District Court
Before moving to Wil, Genton worked at the Rorschach District Court. The 2025/2026 State Calendar lists her there as chief court clerk. LawReport treats this as a historical role rather than as a current position.
The documented sequence is therefore clear: court-clerk work in Rorschach, election to the Wil District Court, and a current judicial role in Wil with vice-presidential responsibilities in two divisions. Only publicly sourced professional facts are included in this profile.
