Guilford County Superior Court Judge Lora Cubbage has been hired as a deputy city attorney in Greensboro.
Cubbage has previously served as an assistant district attorney and district court judge in Guilford County.
As a deputy city attorney, Cubbage will represent Greensboro’s public safety departments.
She says she’ll bring a broad viewpoint to the job. “From the criminal side, from the civil side, and from the judiciary," she says. "The city has never had a former superior court judge in the office to bring that perspective."
Last year she challenged incumbent Justice Allison Riggs for her state Supreme Court seat but lost in the primary.
That race is still in limbo. Riggs was the top vote-getter, but GOP opponent Jefferson Griffin is challenging more than 60,000 votes.
