Just 11 lawyers have applied to be one of the two new justices that Gov. Doug Ducey will select for the Arizona Supreme Court.
The list includes five judges now serving on the state Court of Appeals, three attorneys in private practice, two who work at the attorney general’s office and a Maricopa County Superior Court judge.
And, not unexpectedly, eight of the applicants are Republicans, like Ducey who will make the final selection.
