Ind. Courts - Governor seeks applicants for Vigo judge position
The Terre Haute TribuneStar reports:
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is accepting applications until Sept. 21 from lawyers to serve as judge for the new sixth Vigo County Superior Court, slated to start proceedings Jan. 1, said spokeswoman Jane Jankowski.Once received, the general counsel's office for the governor will interview applicants and make a recommendation to the governor.
"We typically get in touch with the local bar association to get the work out that a vacancy is available and accept an open application process," Jankowski said.
Applicants must be a resident of Vigo County and be a member of the state bar in good standing.
The governor expects to name a judge by mid- to late November, Jankowski said. The appointed judge would then have to seek election in 2006 for that office. A judge is elected for a six-year term.
