Judge Daly first to hold court in Burnsville
By John Gessner Dec 31, 2014
Judge Daly first to hold court in Burnsville
Late judge served 31 years on the bench
Judge John Daly Jr. opened Burnsville’s first courtroom in the old Village Hall building on County Road 5, where office employees competed for space with heavy equipment.
“He would hold court on Wednesday nights at 6:30, after the city employees went home and they turned the road graders off,” said Betsy Daly, one of his three children.
John Daly Jr., who was appointed as Burnsville’s first municipal judge in 1965 and spent 31 years on the bench, died Dec. 25, 2014. He was 84.
The longtime Burnsville resident was a humble man who never used his position for personal gain or influence or even talked much about it, said Betsy Daly, of Eagan.
“He was a family man,” she said. “He was there for his family.”
Born on a farm in Rosemount to John Daly Sr. and Marie Daly, Daly graduated from Rosemount High School in 1947 and from the College of St. Thomas in 1951. He was the fourth of seven children.
“He didn’t want to get drafted into the Korean War, so he applied to law school,” Betsy said. “And to his surprise, he got accepted to the U of M. He was ROTC at St. Thomas College.”
After earning his University of Minnesota law degree Daly became an Air Force second lieutenant on a reserve commission. He wanted to pilot airplanes and was sent to Sampson Air Force Base in New York, where he was turned down for flight school because of poor hearing in his left ear, Betsy said.
Notified by mail that he’d passed the bar exam back in Minnesota, Daly was sworn in as a judge advocate general — an Air Force lawyer, Betsy said.
“At Sampson he was trying criminal cases like AWOL, theft and arson,” she said. From there he was transferred to Offut Air Force Base in Nebraska.
“He tried one criminal case after another,” Betsy said. “One week he would be a prosecutor, and the next week he would be a defense lawyer.”
Daly returned to Minnesota and practiced law with his brother, Jerome, at the Cody, Daly and Waldrop firm in St. Paul. With another brother, Bob, he formed the Daly and Daly Law Firm in 1963. The firm’s offices were in the Warrior Building, which still stands at 201 W. Travelers Trail in Burnsville.
In 1965 Gov. Karl Rolvaag appointed the 35-year-old Daly as Burnsville’s first municipal judge.
“Burnsville was starting to grow, and they needed somebody out there,” Betsy said.
His first job was to set up a functioning courtroom. Daly borrowed docket sheets from Bloomington, crossing out “Bloomington” and “Hennepin County” and replacing them with “Burnsville” and “Dakota,” Betsy said. He stored court records in his law office.
“He said he felt very much like a vagabond,” she said.
At one point Daly threatened to move the court to better digs in Apple Valley, Betsy said. But the village of Burnsville agreed to renovate part of the Warrior Building, and the county paid the rent, she said. Part-owner of the building, her father had to sell his share, she said.
In 1971 the Legislature abolished municipal courts and switched to county courts, Betsy said. Her father served as a Dakota County court judge through 1987, when the state switched to district courts. Daly was a 1st District Court judge until his retirement in 1996, hearing cases in Dakota and other counties.
Though her father didn’t talk much about his work as a judge, Betsy said she came across two telling keepsakes from his career.
One is a 1984 letter from a college president, thanking the judge for not accepting a student’s “gross distortion of the facts” in a discipline case.
The other is a 2008 email from a Rosemount woman to the Dakota County attorney’s office. It described an “unofficial mentor during a rough time in my life” 25 or 30 years ago.
“His name is Judge John Daly,” the woman wrote, noting that she had matured and raised a son by then. “If he is still alive and you can contact him, please just let him know that I have thought of him from time to time over the years, and appreciated his efforts.”
John Joseph Daly Jr. is preceded in death by his brothers, Jerome, Patrick, Walter and Dr. Alfred Daly. He is survived by his children, Geoffrey Gerard Daly, Betsy Daly and Thomas Daly; grandson, Joshua; siblings, Renata (Don) Rigney and Robert (Barb) Daly; and other relatives and friends.
A memorial Mass, visitation and celebration of life were held Dec. 30 at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Rosemount. Memorials will be forwarded by the family in lieu of flowers to some of Daly’s favorite charities.
