Attorney Renita Thompkins Linville will fill the vacancy left by Forsyth County Clerk of Court Susan Frye, making her the first African American to hold the position.
Last week several elected officials partnered with the Wake Forest Law Pro Bono Project and local attorneys to host an expungement clinic at the Forsyth County Hall of Justice.
It took two votes for Forsyth County commissioners to determine who would build the new Hall of Justice, and they decided 6-1 to go with a different pick than what their committee of stakeholders recommended.
The county is currently in the process of buying a vacant lot at 175 N. Chestnut St., next to the Forsyth County Government Center, as the site of the new courthouse.
