38 People Apply for Georgia Supreme Court

Some 38 of the 48 judges and attorneys nominated for Georgia's top court have applied for the job.

Former Attorney General Mike Bowers will next conduct interviews with each of the candidates for the Georgia Supreme Court on June 29 and June 30. The commission will then send Gov. Sonny Perdue a short list of its recommendations.

Perdue, a Republican, is set to appoint a judge to succeed Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears. She is retiring from the court at the end of the month.
