Sitka’s ADA Position Open
By Sentinel Staff
After about a year as assistant district attorney in Sitka, Chris Orman has resigned to pursue other opportunities, Robert Henderson, state deputy attorney general for the criminal division, reports.
Henderson said the position is being advertised internally, and he believes it will be filled in two to six weeks.
“Sitka is usually a sought-after position,” Henderson said. Orman’s last day was March 10.
Until the position is filled, most of Sitka’s cases in state court will be handled telephonically out of the Juneau district attorney’s office, Henderson said.
Before coming to Sitka, Orman was assistant municipal attorney for Juneau for three years, and previously had been an assistant district attorney in Palmer.
