CCJ develops policies and educational programs designed to improve court operations. It also acts as the primary representative of the state courts before Congress and federal executive agencies.
“Chief Justice Suttell is recognized by his colleagues in the Conference of Chief Justices for being a pragmatic, consensus-based leader who never shies away from the big challenges,” said NCSC President Mary C. McQueen. “When the state courts tackle major issues, Chief Justice Suttell is always at the table.”
Suttell joined the state Supreme Court in 2003 and became chief justice in 2009.
Both new appointments are for one-year terms.
