According to a press release from Governor Tim Kaine, Del. Ken Melvin, whose retirement was announced earlier this year, has been appointed to the Portsmouth Circuit Court, effective May 1.
“With this appointment, Ken will have another opportunity to build upon his record of dedicated service to the Commonwealth,” Governor Kaine said. “Ken has served with great distinction in the House of Delegates where he has been particularly valuable as a member of the Courts of Justice Committee. I have known and admired Ken for the keen analytical abilities and reasoned judgment he brought to legislative debates. I look forward to his continued service.”
