North Dakota judicial system

The structure of the North Dakota judicial system is laid out in Article VI of the state Constitution. The state court system is made up of the Supreme Court, the North Dakota Court of Appeals, the North Dakota District Courts and the North Dakota Municipal Courts.

There are two federal courts in North Dakota: the District of North Dakota and the District of North Dakota Bankruptcy Court. Appeals are heard in the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Only one judicial race in North Dakota's primary election May 15, 2012

North Dakota: Just like two years ago, only one judicial race will be contested in the primary election in North Dakota this year. That is the seat currently held by H. Patrick Weir, of the Southwest Judicial District, who is retiring at the end of his current term. Kevin McCabe, Dann Greenwood and Tom M. Henning will compete for the seat on June 12.

Only one other race will be contested for the North Dakota District Courts in 2012. That race is for the Southeast Judicial District, where Brad Cruff is challenging incumbent Richard W. Grosz. [1]

In North Dakota, judicial candidates participate in a primary only when the race is contested by more than two candidates. If only two candidates file for a seat, they face off in the general election. Judicial races in the state are non-partisan. [2]

Thirteen District Court judges are also running unopposed for reelection.
