Sabrina D. Howell named Chancery Judge for 3rd District
A Facebook post announced that Sabrina D. Howell has been appointed Chancery Judge for the 3rd Chancery District.
The post said Howell’s extensive Chancery Court experience, including her service as a youth court referee and family master, makes her exceptionally well-suited for the role.
Chancery courts typically handle matters of equity and family law, including custody, guardianship and juvenile issues, and judges in those courts often preside over complex domestic and probate disputes. Experience as a youth court referee and family master generally involves working directly with children and families, managing hearings and making recommendations to judges, which can be relevant to the duties of a chancery judge.
The post did not provide details on who made the appointment, an effective date, or whether Howell must stand for election or confirmation. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
