Transactional Lawyers Fail to Materialize for Biz Court Positions

Applications for the new business court system are slowing down even as planning gears up ahead of the courts’ opening sessions Sept. 1.

According to records from the governor’s office and independent research, at least seven new applications for the 10 trial judge positions were submitted in recent weeks compared to nine received earlier. Interest in three positions on the new Fifteenth Court of Appeals also tapered off, with six new applicants joining 15 who previously applied.
