Statement from Chief Justice Margaret L. Workman
For immediate release Tuesday, August 14, 2018
I was dismayed by the House of Delegates’ decision yesterday to pursue the mass
impeachment of the entire West Virginia Supreme Court. I will miss my colleague and
friend, Justice Robin Jean Davis, but respect the reasons she chose to retire.
I am not resigning, either from the Court or from my position as Chief Justice.
There is no basis for my impeachment, and I will continue to do the work, both
administrative and judicial, that the people of West Virginia elected me to do.
I want the citizens of our state to know that the Court will move forward. The
cases set for the fall term, which opens September 5, will be heard and decided as
scheduled.
I look forward to putting all the facts before the Senate in the next phase of this
process.
