BOSTON – A third Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court justice on Wednesday announced plans to retire before the next full session of the state's high court begins, prompting Gov. Charlie Baker to name a 12-member panel to help him pick replacements.
Justice Fernande Duffly, who was appointed to the high court by then-Gov. Deval Patrick in 2011, will retire from the bench July 12, the court announced. In a statement, Duffly said she had planned to retire next year, but expedited her plans to help care for her husband. Duffly is the first Asian-American justice to serve on the court.
