Judicial bodies and local governments are seeking applicants to fill vacancies across several courts. In Knox County, Tennessee, applications are open for the criminal court seat left vacant by Judge Scott Green’s death, with a Nov. 23 deadline and a public hearing scheduled for Dec. 11. Middletown, Rhode Island, is inviting qualified candidates to submit letters of interest and résumés for Municipal and Probate Court judgeships by Nov. 23. In Canandaigua, New York, the town is seeking an appointee to serve as justice through 2027 after the state’s highest court upheld Walter Jones’ removal for misconduct. West Virginia is accepting applications for a family court vacancy that will open with Judge Joyce Helmick Carpenter’s retirement at the end of 2026, while the Philippines’ Judicial and Bar Council is taking applications for an associate justice seat until Dec. 28.
