Bedford attorney Nathan G. Nikirk was appointed as judge pro tem in the Lawrence Circuit Court last month. Along with the circuit court, Lawrence County has two superior court divisions.
The vacancy in Bedford was created when Lawrence Circuit Judge Andrea K. McCord was selected to serve as a judge on the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana. McCord began serving on the federal bench for the Evansville and New Albany divisions May 20, but her formal investiture ceremony has not yet taken place.
McCord succeeds retiring bankruptcy court Judge Basil H. Lorch III.
