Governor Kay Ivey on Monday announced the appointment of Grace Jeter as Covington County Circuit Court Judge.
Jeter’s legal experience includes 19 years as assistant district attorney and chief assistant district attorney in the 22nd Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office in Andalusia, four years as staff attorney for the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals, and two years as an attorney with Merrell and Bryan in Andalusia.
“Grace Jeter comes to the bench with a strong background as a prosecutor with extensive courtroom experience,” Ivey said. “In addition to serving for nearly two decades as an assistant district attorney, her legal career also includes work as a staff attorney in state appellate court. She is well versed in the law and will serve the people of Covington County with distinction.”
Jeter will succeed former 22nd Judicial Circuit Judge Ben Bowden, who was appointed to serve on the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals by Ivey in May.
“I am grateful for Governor Ivey’s appointment,” Jeter said. “Having worked for the people of Covington County for 20 years, I am humbled by the opportunity to continue serving them as Circuit Judge.”
