Bill Would Re-Align Districts For Superior Court
The North Carolina legislature introduces a bill in both houses to expand resident Superior Court judges from 21 to 32, creating 30 districts with Mecklenburg, Guilford, Wake, Durham, Forsyth and Buncombe singled out as separate districts. It aims to cut or remove special judges and schedule new judges to take office July 1 with elections in 1956. The plan keeps solicitorial districts unchanged and lets the governor appoint 11 additional judges alongside the 21 existing ones.
