ATLANTA (AP) — The Judicial Nominating Commission begins the task on Monday of finding candidates to recommend to fill a vacancy on the Georgia Supreme Court.
The commission, headed by former state Attorney General Michael Bowers, will interview the 38 candidates to replace Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, who is stepping down. Presiding Justice Carol Hunstein will take her spot as the court’s chief judge.
The commission plans to hold 20-minute interviews with each applicant, then send a handful of recommendations to Gov. Sonny Perdue.
