Jay Bryan has been appointed to serve on the District Court bench by Gov. Beverly Perdue for judicial district 15-B, which covers Orange and Chatham counties.
Perdue said she chose Bryan to replace Judge Page Vernon, who is retiring, because of his experience as an accomplished attorney and his work in the community.
Bryan served on the Carrboro Board of Aldermen for 10 years and has also served on a variety of civic and charitable boards. He received his law degree from the N.C. Central University School of Law and has been practicing law in Orange County for 34 years.
