This office is outside of Ballotpedia's coverage scope and does not receive scheduled updates. Our scope includes all elected federal and state officeholders as well as comprehensive coverage of the 100 largest cities in America by population.

Disbrow was appointed to the Second Division of the Superior Court by Gov. Roy Cooper (D) on May 1, 2020, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Ola M. Lewis.[1] He previously served as a judge for the 13th Judicial District in North Carolina from 2013 to 2020. He was appointed by Gov. Pat McCrory (R) in December 2015 to replace Marion R. Warren, who was appointed as administrator for the North Carolina Court System.[2]

Selection method

See also: Partisan election of judges

The North Carolina District Courts utilize partisan elections in the selection of judges. District judges serve four-year terms, after which they must run for re-election if they wish to continue serving. From 2002 through 2016, elections for district court judges were nonpartisan; however, on March 23, 2017, the North Carolina legislature changed the method of election to partisan elections by overriding Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of HB 100. This change was effective with the 2018 district court elections.[3][4][5]

Qualifications
To serve on this court, a judge must be:[3]

  • licensed to practice law in the state;
  • a district resident; and
  • under the age of 72 (retirement at 72 is mandatory).
