(North Dakota Monitor) – Twelve people have applied to be North Dakota’s next Supreme Court justice, including four district court judges.
A spot on the court is up for grabs after Justice Daniel Crothers announced last month he will retire in February after 20 years on the bench.
The application window for attorneys interested in replacing Crothers closed last week.
A committee will select two to seven names to nominate for appointment by Gov. Kelly Armstrong. Armstrong, a Republican, can then either pick the next justice from that group, ask the committee for more nominees or refer the matter to the election ballot for a public vote.
