Davis spent 11 years as an assistant attorney general and also worked in private practice. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1981 and earned her law degree from the OU College of Law three years later.
The governor selected Davis from among three candidates whose names were submitted by the Judicial Nominating Commission.
