Judge Pritchard Seeks Clear Law On Succession Controversy
Judge elect James A. Pritchard, consulting Attorney General Miller, questions the legality of his forthcoming commission under conflicting laws. The dispute centers on whether the 1901 statute or 1903 provision governs judicial succession, with the attorney general and Pritchard arguing that the 279 law is unconstitutional in part and invalid in whole for this issue. The outcome could affect when the incumbent’s term ends and when Pritchard may assume office.
