Today, Gov. Roy Cooper named Judge Mark Davis as Associate Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.

Judge Davis intends to hear oral arguments when the Supreme Court convenes on April 8, 2019, and will be on the ballot in 2020 to serve an eight-year term.
Judge Davis was appointed to the North Carolina Court of Appeals in 2012 and was elected to a full eight-year term in 2014. Prior to that, he served as a Special Deputy Attorney General in the North Carolina Department of Justice for five years. He spent thirteen years as an attorney with Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, now Womble Bonds Dickinson, where he was a member of the firm in the Litigation Section, and also served as General Counsel in the Office of the Governor for approximately two years.
