DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A panel has forwarded three finalists to fill an Iowa Supreme Court vacancy to Gov. Kim Reynolds. After interviewing 15 lawyers and judges Friday, the State Judicial Nominating Commission selected Mary Chicchelly, a district court judge from Cedar Rapids; Matt McDermott, a Des Moines lawyer who for five years represented the Republican Party of Iowa; and David May, an appeals court judge from Polk City. McDermott graduated from Kuemper Catholic High School and received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Iowa and his law degree from the University of California Berkeley School of Law. He currently works with the firm of Belin McCormick in Des Moines and received the Iowa State Bar Association’s Young Lawyer Division Award of Merit in 2013.Reynolds now has 30 days to choose from the finalists. A position on the court became available because of the retirement of Justice David Wiggins. Reynolds has seated three judges since becoming governor.
