Gov. Jack Markell is not expected to immediately initiate a search for a candidate to replace outgoing Delaware Supreme Court Justice Carolyn Berger, according to the governor’s chief legal counsel. Berger’s departure is less than three months away, but attorneys within the state are already discussing who will be tapped to 
replace her.

“Because Justice Berger’s retirement is three months away, the governor has no immediate plans to begin the search,” said Andrew Lippstone, chief legal counsel to Markell.
