MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A municipal court vacancy in Alabama’s capital has been filled.
Samarria Munnerlyn Dunson was sworn-in Friday to fill the seat in Montgomery, replacing Virgil Ford, WSFA-TV reported.
Court Administrator Ken Nixon said Dunson is the fourth judge on the court and will serve a two-year term that is considered part-time. Nixon said the city may pursue having a second full-time judge in the future, but that it’s currently unnecessary due to the pandemic and limited dockets.
