North Dakota: On Nov. 18, 2013, Governor Jack Dalrymple appointed Judge Lisa Fair McEvers to the North Dakota Supreme Court. McEvers will replace Justice Mary Muehlen Maring, who will retire on December 31 of this year. Since the term is unexpired, McEvers will serve through 2016, but must run for re-election that year if she wishes to remain on the bench.[1][2]
The governor stated:
| “ | Judge McEvers brings a wealth of experience to the position of Supreme Court justice, experience that includes private practice litigation, trying criminal cases before a jury and presiding over civil and criminal cases as a judge.[1][3] | ” |
McEvers has served as a judge of the East Central Judicial District since 2010. Prior to that, she was the state's labor commissioner. McEvers responded to the appointment by saying,
| “ | I am honored and grateful to be named to the Supreme Court by Gov. Dalrymple and I look forward to continuing the outstanding work of the state’s highest court.[1][3] | ” |
