Information About

Paul Martin Newby




A resident of Raleigh, North Carolina , Newby earned a bachelor's degree from Duke University in 1977 and a Juris Doctor degree from the University Of North Carolina At Chapel Hill in 1980 . After four years in private practice in Kannapolis and a year as a counsel to a real estate deveoper, Newby was appointed Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina in 1985 , a post he held for almost twenty years.

Following the resignation of North Carolina Supreme Court justice Robert Orr , Newby was one of eight candidates, four Republicans and four Democrats, who filed in a special election to fill the vacant seat; he won that race with 23% of the vote for an eight-year term on the court in the Statewide Judicial Elections . In the officially non-partisan race, Newby was endorsed by the North Carolina Republican Party -- the North Carolina Democratic Party refused to endorse any candidate in the race.
