Drayton Nabers, Jr.

Drayton Nabers (born December 2, 1940) is a former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. He was appointed to the court in 2003 by Governor Bob Riley following Justice Roy Moore's removal as a result of his refusal to remove his Ten Commandments Monument from the State Judicial Building, an event that attracted national media attention.

Career

Nabers ran for election in 2006 in the Republican primary for Chief Justice. He defeated Justice Tom Parker, a Roy Moore ally, by nearly 20 percentage points. He lost to Sue Bell Cobb, the lone Democrat on Alabama's Court of Criminal Appeals, in the general election by three percentage points.^[1]

Following his loss, Nabers has returned to practicing law for Maynard Cooper & Gale PC.^[2]

Per the state website, Mr. Nabers was appointed by Alabama Governor Bob Riley to oversee the distribution to state-controlled agencies of the federal stimulus funds. Federal agencies within the state of Alabama will not be affected by this appointment.^[3]
