Jackson Co. attorneys vie for state judgeship

UNDATED - Four Jackson County attorneys will be interviewed next week to fill the unexpired term of former State Court Judge Jerry Gray, who died unexpectedly last month.

According to the Athens Banner Herald, Jefferson attorneys Donna Golden Sikes, Scott Tolbert and Nick Primm and Commerce attorney Jeff Perry all have submitted applications to the governor's Judicial Nominating Committee.

Judges from other jurisdictions have handled the cases in Gray's court since his death in October.
