Jurists get new terms on the bench

Local and area jurists are getting new terms on the bench.  The South Carolina Court Administration is extending congratulations to Karen Ballenger of Seneca for her re-election as the Seat 2 judge in the Family Court and to Perry Gravely of Pickens for his re-election to Seat 1 in the 13th Judicial Circuit.  Judges were elected Wednesday by the state General Assembly.
