Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Chris McCool will run for a seat on the state Supreme Court next year, the judge announced.
“My nearly three decades of legal experience as a lawyer, prosecutor and judge have reinforced my great reverence for the Rule of Law,” McCool said in a press release. “My more than half a century of life experience has taught me that there is no substitute for integrity. ‘Character’ is not something you can teach in school - I learned that growing up on my daddy’s cattle and chicken farm, and in working hard to provide for my family through the years.
