Job Opening: Georgia Supreme Court Justice

Posted by Thomas Wheatley on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 9:28 PM

The state's unemployment rate rose a tad bit yesterday, but that was before the Georgia Department of Labor heard word of this opportunity. The 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, who will ignore the suggestions and instead appoint the ghost of Judge 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!

What is the point of the shortlist if he is just going to ignore it?
