Obama’s
Judicial Legacy, Chapter One
According to The New York
Times, the White House is signaling that it may soon be ready to
name its first batch of nominees. Currently, there are 15 vacancies on the
federal courts of appeal; the Times
focuses on potential nominees for the Second Circuit (one vacancy) and the
Fourth Circuit (four vacancies). News from the White House Counsel’s office
indicates that Baltimore-based District Court Judge Andre Davis and University
of Virginia Law School Professor Elizabeth Magill may be tapped for the Fourth,
and former law professor and current District Court Judge Gerard Lynch could
get the nod for the Second. It is too early to comment on the names; their
nominations are not official and every nomination to the powerful circuit
courts requires a thoughtful review. Read Nan Aron's blog on Huffington
