Charles William Johnson (born March 16, 1951)[1] is an American lawyer who has served as a justice of the Washington Supreme Court since 1991.
Johnson graduated from the University of Puget Sound School of Law (now Seattle University School of Law) in 1976, and was the first graduate of that institution to be elected to the Washington Supreme Court.
Johnson has served on the Washington Supreme Court longer than any other current Justice.
In October 2018, Johnson wrote a concurrence when the majority abolished the state's death penalty because they found its racially biased imposition violated the Constitution of Washington.
