The TCBA Bylaws require that whenever there is a judicial vacancy to be filled by appointment, the Association conducts a “Judicial Appointments Bar Poll” and submits the results of the Poll to the appointing authority. With a ninth judge position created on the Thurston County Superior Court, there is a judicial vacancy to be filled by appointment by the Governor, thus triggering the obligation for the Association to conduct a Judicial Appointments Bar Poll.
As required by the TCBA Bylaws, the Association hereby gives notice of a vacancy on the Thurston County Superior Court and requests that anyone seeking appointment to this position who wishes to be included in the Judicial Appointments Bar Poll please so indicate, by sending an email to tcba.info@nullgmail.com by June 10, 2021 (by sending an email you will be considered to have provided a written, signed request to be included in the Poll).
