JUDICIARY: Irv Maze Appointed to Jefferson Circuit Court Judge

It is now "official"  Jefferson County Attorney Irv Maze has been appointed as a Jefferson circuit judge by Gov. Steve Beshear.  As of Aug. 12th, he was also the only candidate who filed for the vacant seat in the November election.

Maze, who served as county attorney for 10 years, will take the seat left vacant by the death earlier this year of Judge Kathleen Voor Montano.

Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson expects to announce soon the appointment of an interim county attorney, spokesman Chris Poynter said.
