Paul Martin Newby (born May 5, 1955) is an American judge, who was first elected to a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court in 2004.[1] He was elected chief justice in 2020.
Early life and education[edit]
Newby was born in Asheboro, North Carolina. He graduated from Ragsdale High School in Jamestown, North Carolina. He is an Eagle Scout and former Scoutmaster.[1] A resident of Raleigh, North Carolina, Newby earned a bachelor's degree in Public Policy Studies from Duke University in 1977 and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1980.
Career[edit]
After four years in private practice in Kannapolis, a year as a counsel to a real estate developer, Vice President and General Counsel of Cannon Mills Realty and Development Corporation, Newby was appointed Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina in 1985, a post he held for almost twenty years.[1]

In the officially non-partisan race, Newby was endorsed by the North Carolina Republican Party—the North Carolina Democratic Party refused to endorse any candidate in the race.[1]
He is an adjunct professor at the Campbell University's Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, and the co-author of a book on the North Carolina Constitution.[1]
In November 2012, he won re-election to a second eight-year term, defeating Sam Ervin, IV.
