On Wednesday, September 12, Governor Gary R. Herbert appointed Barry Lawrence to fill a vacancy on the Third District Court. The vacancy results from the retirement of Judge William W. Barrett effective November 1, 2012.
“Barry Lawrence will bring valuable perspective and analysis to the Third District Court,” Governor Herbert said. “His combination of public and private sector experience, and his years of dedication to the rule of law will be a great asset to the court.”
