Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(1) Admitted to the practice of law in the courts of this state not less than five years prior to taking office.
(2) A resident for not less than one year at the time of appointment or initial election in the district for which his or her position was created.
