LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The first Black woman to become a judge in Arkansas is retiring after 37 years on the bench.
Judge Joyce Warren is set to retire Friday, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. She is retiring due to a state law that requires judges who win elections after the age of 70 to forfeit their retirement benefits.
“I thought I would never want to retire because I absolutely love what I do,” said Warren, who serves as 10th Division judge in the 6th Judicial Circuit. “This is the most difficult job ethically, emotionally, mentally - every way you can think about it - but I still love it.”
