Tiara Young Hudson, who won the Democratic nomination for a Jefferson County circuit court seat in May and appeared to be on her way to winning the seat with no opposition in the November general election, likely will not take the bench. Here's why.
A lawsuit aimed at blocking the move of a circuit judgeship from Jefferson County to Madison County has been dismissed.
Tiara Young Hudson, who won the Democratic nomination for that Jefferson County circuit court seat in May and appeared to be on her way to winning the seat with no Republican or other opposition in the November general election, on July 19. A judge had been appointed to fill the new seat in Madison County the day before the lawsuit was filed.
“The Legislature lawfully established the Judicial Resources Allocation Commission and the Commission lawfully reallocated a circuit judgeship from Jefferson County to Madison County. The Act creating the Commission carries significant standards that limit the Commission’s discretion and foreclose Plaintiff’s argument that the Legislature unlawfully delegated its authority,” Pool wrote in his order.
Hudson claimed the transfer violates the Alabama Constitution and maintains that only the Legislature has the authority to reallocate judgeships. It also noted the transfer took a judgeship away from a county with a high percentage of Black residents and moved it to a majority white county.It is the first transfer of a judgeship made by the Judicial Resources Allocation Commission, which legislators created in 2017.
