SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Gov. Bill Richardson has appointed a Santa Fe attorney to serve on the 1st Judicial District Court bench.
Richardson says Sarah Singleton brings more than 30 years of experience to the bench.
Singleton was appointed by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the Senate in 2006 to serve on the Board of Directors for the Legal Services Corporation. LSC is the leading provider of civil legal aid for the poor in the United States.
