Davis to be chief justice again in 2014


The state Supreme Court has chosen Justice Robin Davis to be chief justice in 2014. The members of the court made the decision in a recent meeting.
Supreme Court Justice Robin Davis will serve as chief justice for a sixth time beginning Jan. 1.
Davis, who was reelected to a 12-year term in 2012, has been chief justice five other times. She will be the first justice to serve as chief justice six times since the court was reorganized in 1974.

Davis, a Boone County native, was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1996.
