Jasmine Twitty
Jasmine Twitty (born December 4, 1989) is an American associate judge for the Easley, South Carolina municipal court. Appointed to the position of associate judge of the municipal court for the city of Easley, South Carolina in August 2015,[1] she is one of the youngest judges to ever be appointed or elected in U.S. history at the age of 25.[2] Twitty graduated from the College of Charleston with a degree in political science.[3] She previously worked for the Greenville County Bond Court as a night clerk. After completing a training program and passing a certification examination, Twitty was sworn in as a judge at the age of 25. In South Carolina, summary court judges are not required to have a J.D.degree because they're appointed.[4] In addition to her career as a judge, she regularly volunteers at the Urban League of the Upstate. Twitty also was a founding member of a group dedicated to the professional development of women in the Upstate called "LeadHER".[3]
