1 1 Opportunity Judicial Intern The Trial Court Administrator s Office for the 26 th Judicial District of North Carolina is seeking law students to serve as unpaid judicial interns for the judiciary in Mecklenburg County. This position is unpaid. All unpaid individuals who volunteer their time are considered interns. Interns who are not receiving payment from an outside party in relation to their voluntary service are considered employees of the Court. About Our Judiciary Superior Court Judges are attorneys who are elected for each district in non-partisan elections for eight-year terms. Regular superior court judges must reside in the district in which they are elected, but rotate from one district to another within their division. Special and emergency judges may also be assigned to particular judicial districts by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. The Senior Resident Superior Court Judge has the most seniority of the superior court judges in the district and is responsible for carrying out various administrative duties. The Superior Court has jurisdiction in both civil and criminal cases. The types of cases that are heard in superior court often require jury trials and deal with various action involving personal injury cases, medical malpractice, contract disputes, and actions in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000. There are a few special categories of cases, such as those involving appeals from administrative agencies and constitutional issues, are tried in Superior Court. In criminal cases, the Superior Court has exclusive jurisdiction over all felonies and over misdemeanors appealed from a conviction in District Court. The senior resident superior court judge is responsible for court operations within the district. By statute, the senior resident superior court judge is the most senior judge in the district and is responsible for carrying out various administrative duties and appointing magistrates and some other court officials.
2 2 The Senior Resident Superior Court Judge is W. Robert Bob Bell. Judge Bell attended Wake Forest University School of Law where he earned a Juris Doctor degree. Before serving on the Superior Court, he was in private practice and also served as an Assistant District Attorney. He has served on the Superior Court bench for the past 17 years. Eight Superior Court Judges currently serve the people of this judicial district. Other Mecklenburg County Superior Court Judges in order of seniority include: Resident Superior Court Judge Yvonne M.

Conrad District Court Judges are attorneys elected for each district in non-partisan elections for four years and must reside in the district in which they are elected. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina designates one of the judges as Chief District Court Judge, and this judge has administrative duties, including assigning the judges to sessions of court. Both civil and criminal cases are heard in District Court. The civil district court handles matters dealing with domestic issues such as custody, child support, equitable distribution and divorce actions.

Domestic relations cases involving alimony, child support, child custody, divorce, equitable distribution, and juvenile matters are also heard in this court. In criminal cases, District Court has exclusive original jurisdiction over misdemeanor cases and most traffic offenses. The Chief District Court Judge is Regan A. Miller.
