EOB: Two judge replacements, two different processes

The Idaho Judicial Council issued a notice and call for applications to be received by March 4, and on March 10 published the names of 12 applicants on its website, including state district and magistrate judges, prosecutors, and attorneys from around the state. It solicited comments on the applicants from all members of Idaho’s state bar.

On May 19, 10 of those candidates were interviewed by the Judicial Council. And on May 20, four names were forwarded to Gov. Butch Otter: Dennis Benjamin, a Boise attorney; Molly J. Huskey, a 3rd District judge and former state appellate public defender; Christine M. Salmi, a Boise attorney; and Jayme B. Sullivan, a magistrate judge in Nampa. More from EOB here.
