Open seats at Court of Appeals

February 26, 2008

The Appellate Judicial Nominating Commission has now begun advertising to fill the Court of Appeals spot Judge Irma Raker will vacate when she hits the mandatory retirement age of 70 in April.

Raker sits from the 7th appellate circuit, which only covers Montgomery County, so that’s where her replacement must come from. The application deadline’s March 24 for this one.

In other Court of Appeals vacancy news, there is none. That is, the commission was supposed to meet last Friday to see if it could come up with another name or two for the governor to consider for Judge Dale Cathell’s seat — after the commission’s decision to forward only one name did not go over so well — but the meeting was iced out and rescheduled for March.
