The six-year term as Monroe County District Court judge had opened up due to age limits reached by Judge Jack Vitale.
A general sentiment of pleasant surprise was expressed by those who spoke at Amanda L. Eicher's investiture ceremony Thursday at the Monroe County Courthouse.
Eicher replaces Judge William Paul Nichols who replaced the late Michael A. Weipert, who passed away in March.
“He loved being the ceremonial judge,” said fellow 38th Circuit Judge Daniel S. White. “And he was excellent at being the ceremonial judge.”
There is already one vacancy among the judges in Monroe County District Court, and another is expected this fall when Judge Jack Vitale steps down.
