Gerald M. Titus III has been appointed to the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals by Governor Patrick Morrisey, following the death of Justice Tim Armstead earlier this year.
“After speaking with the finalists following a rigorous and thoughtful deliberation process, I am confident that Justice Titus will serve our state honorably and uphold the rule of law,” said Governor Morrisey.
Titus is known for his experience in various areas of law and his reputation for professionalism. He completed both his undergraduate and law degrees at Washington and Lee University. Since 2009, he has worked at Spilman, Thomas & Battle, focusing on civil litigation, criminal justice, corporate litigation, and business litigation. His public service includes time as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of West Virginia’s Violent Crimes Division.
He has received recognition as a West Virginia Super Lawyers Rising Star from 2015 through 2018 and has been honored several times by The Best Lawyers in America for commercial litigation work.
“I look forward to applying my full legal abilities and training to reach the right result under the law,” said Justice Titus. “I am committed to the rule of law and applying the law as it is written. I believe it’s critical for the Court to remain impartial and ensure fairness for all parties.”
Justice Titus was accompanied at the announcement by his wife Meredith and their three children.
