A recently passed bill permits Judge Glenn Grant, who reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 this month, to defer his judicial pension while continuing to serve in the position of administrative director of the courts. As the chief justice said in a statement on Dec. 21, Judge Grant "has been a remarkable leader of the Judiciary for more than a decade. Among many other areas of achievement, his effectiveness has been especially noteworthy of late in helping guide the courts through the ongoing pandemic and helping respond in a meaningful way to racial justice issues that affect the justice system."
