Last month, following Justice Bowen’s decision to step down from the Governor-appointed position of Associate Justice, Governer Beebe appointed Ron Sheffield to complete the term of Justice Imber, who retired last year as an Associate Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court.
A special election will be held later this year to determine who will complete Justice Imber’s term, which expires in 2014. Currently, the candidates for Position 6 are: (1) Judge Tim Fox; (2) Judge Karen Baker; and (3) Evelyn Moorehead.
