– Halifax County Superior Court Judge Norlan Graves filed for election today, seeking the Democratic nomination for the seat that he was recently appointed to by Governor Roy Cooper.  “This campaign is about new leadership in our county courts,” said Judge Graves.  “We need a new voice, new ideas and new leadership to protect and serve our county.”

“As a former prosecutor and Special Deputy Attorney General, I know the law, I know the critical role an impartial judge plays in being fair and responsive to all people before the court,” said Judge Graves.

 

Graves has practiced in various courts including State Superior and District Courts, Federal District Courts, the Federal Court of Appeals, the North Carolina Court of Appeals, the North Carolina Industrial Commission, the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings, and the North Carolina Department of Labor. His litigation experience includes murder cases, law enforcement representation, medical malpractice, employment law, civil rights, administrative law and occupational safety and health.

 

“You need to project calm in the courtroom.  You need to show judicial temperament. You must show our citizens the respect and dignity they deserve,” said Judge Graves.

 

“I have the background, the experience and the leadership to serve our courts,” said Judge Graves. “I look forward to campaigning and asking the people of Halifax County for their support and their vote.”
