Five judges and four attorneys have made the first cut in the bid to become a justice of the Arizona Supreme Court.
Following a screening of applications, the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments on Thursday chose to invite nine of the 11 applicants in for formal interviews at the end of the month. The panel will then decide which names to forward to Gov. Doug Ducey, who has to make his picks from that list.
