The Associated Press
Washington state Supreme Court Chief Justice Gerry Alexander will step down next year from his post and serve out the remainder of his term as an associate justice.
Alexander, who has served as chief justice since 2001, is set to retire at the end of 2011, the year in which he will reach the mandatory retirement age of 75 for judges in Washington. Alexander will remain a justice on the high court for the last two years of his term.
The new chief justice will be selected by an internal election of the members of the Court in early November, will be sworn in in January and will fill the remainder of Alexander's current term.
Alexander was elected to the court in 1994.
