Statement from Senate President Craig Blair regarding West Virginia Intermediate Court of Appeals

“Today is an outstanding day for West Virginia’s legal system and another step forward in making our state the ideal place for job creators and families alike. The creation of an Intermediate Court of Appeals has been a goal of mine for several years, and I am excited to see it become a reality today.

I thank Governor Justice for believing in our vision and working with us as we passed this bill. I also thank him for appointing our House of Delegates friend and colleague Dan Greear as one of the Court’s new judges. Dan’s experience, knowledge, and temperament make him an ideal person to serve the State of West Virginia in this new role.”
