Book Description
Excerpt from North Carolina Courts, 1978-79: Annual Report of the Administrative Office of the Courts By the required three-fifths vote in each house, the Legislature approved a proposed amendment to the State Constitution, to be voted on statewide at the gen eral election in the Fall of 1980, which provides that only a person who is authorized to practice law in the State will be eligible for appointment or election to a judgeship. Under the present State Constitution a non lawyer can serve as a judge in any of the courts, appel late as well as the trial courts. Non-lawyers have not in the past been appointed or. Elected to the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, or the superior court. Eight non-lawyers have been elected district court judges; but any non-lawyer sitting judge would be ex empted from application of the proposed constitutional amendment under a grandfather clause.
