Following admission to the State Bar Association of North Dakota, he was admitted to the Judge Advocate General's Corps, United States Army. After three years of active duty, including service in Washington, D.C. handling court martial appeals, he returned to North Dakota.

In June 1974, Johnson was appointed to the Supreme Court. He was defeated for re-election to a full term and left office on January 9, 1975, after serving for seven months. After the resignation of Justice H. F. Gierke III, Governor George A. Sinner appointed Johnson to the Court on February 11, 1992. He served until January 1, 1993, after an unsuccessful election bid to fill out the remaining term. Johnson then returned to private practice in the Fargo law firm of Wold Johnson, P.C.

gollark: > We should just make every state a different political extreme and let whoever likes it most in a place live thereI actually *would* like that, at larger scales, which is why I would not really support unified world government.
