Job Opening: Georgia Supreme Court Justice
May 21, 2009 at 5:28 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsThe Georgia Judicial Nomination Commission is accepting nominations to replace state Supreme Court Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, who is retiring in June to become the next U.S. Supreme Court Justice and legalize marijuana practice law in Chicago.
Nominees will receive a questionnaire that must be returned by June 22. The commission will meet on June 29 to interview nominees. The commission will select five qualified candidates. A list of those selected will be sent to Gov. Sonny Perdue. He is expected to ignore the short-list and instead appoint the Honorable Judge Joseph Wapner.
If you’re really interested in applying for this, send me a line and I’ll forward you the info from Perdue’s office. If you have your own connections, well then, good luck!
