HB 2082: District court judges

Changing provisions relating to district court judges.

Summary

  • The population of a district court district where a lay judge can qualify by examination is dropped from 10,000 to 5,000. This change would require most district court judges to be attorneys, but would grandfather in all lay district court judges in office on the effective date of the act.
