First District Circuit Judge of Jackson County, was appointed as associate judge in 1986, then appointed to a vacancy on the circuit court before winning election to that seat in 1992. In 2001, the Judicial Inquiry Board filed a complaint over Schwartz' decision to bar Southern Illinois Law School students from serving in his courtroom, after his stepson's application to enroll there was denied.
