ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Alaska Judicial Council is accepting applications to serve as a justice on the Alaska Supreme Court after it announced Friday that Chief Justice Peter Maassen will retire in January 2025.
“Everyone that has worked with him is going to miss having him there,” Koford said. “I’m sure that whoever takes his place will also be a wonderfully competent justice, and I look forward to working with them as well.” The Alaska Judicial Council, established by the Alaska Constitution, comprises seven members who screen applications for all state judges including those from the Appellate, Superior, District and Supreme Courts.
The Judicial Council will spend the next several weeks receiving, vetting and investigating applications and applicants before sending a survey to all members of the Alaska Bar Association. Then, they’ll ask anyone with direct professional experience with the candidate to give information about their qualifications. There will be interviews, a public hearing and nominations. Final names are sent to the governor for a final appointment.
