Alaska: Judge Joel Bolger of the Alaska Court of Appeals was elevated to the state's Supreme Court by Gov. Sean Parnell on January 25, 2013. Bolger will replace Justice Walter Carpeneti, who is retiring at the end of the month.[1]
Gov. Parnell stated,
| “ | “Judge Bolger’s vast experience will be a tremendous asset for Alaska’s highest court. His service at each level of the Alaska Court System has prepared him to serve Alaskans with humility, thoughtfulness, legal expertise, and discernment.”[1][2] | ” |
Bolger began his judicial career in 1997 on the District Court in Valdez. He moved up to the Kodiak Superior Court in 2003 and then to the Alaska Court of Appeals in 2008.
When Bolger takes office next month, it will be the first time that the Supreme Court will not include a justice from Juneau since statehood in 1959.[3]
