President Joe Biden has announced four new judicial nominations, including Julia Lipez for the 1st Circuit and Karla Campbell for the 6th Circuit. Julia Lipez is set to fill the seat her father, Judge Kermit Lipez, currently holds, with Judge Lipez planning to retire upon her confirmation. Karla Campbell, a former law clerk for Judge Stranch, is nominated for the 6th Circuit. A longtime public defender is Biden’s latest pick to fill one of the five federal judicial vacancies in the Philadelphia region. Biden's picks are noted for their diversity, with women accounting for 64% and minorities 62% of his judicial appointments. The president emphasized that his nominees come from various professional backgrounds, including labor and civil rights law, reflecting the American experience and dedication to core values. This announcement coincides with the confirmation of Biden's 200th judge, a milestone celebrated by Senate Democrats.
Column: Congress blames local D.C. for crime — but it's also leaving vacant a staggering number of judgeships that would actually fight crime. What gives? @michaelschaffer breaks down the ludicrous system in this week's Capital City column. https://t.co/N563mLHP2K
President Biden has worked hard to make our federal courts more reflective of America. This week, as we celebrate @SenateDems voting to confirm @POTUS’ 200th judge, I’m proud to have supported Delaware’s Tamika Montgomery-Reeves, a trailblazer & legal scholar for our country. https://t.co/dB4Q5dK7wY
President Joe Biden announced four new judicial nominees, including the daughter of a sitting judge who currently serves on the same U.S. appeals court she was nominated to join and plans to retire if she is confirmed @nateraymond https://t.co/DuO0A8IfjR https://t.co/Jod3tphuPi
Update: Judge Kermit Lipez plans to fully retire if the Senate confirms his daughter to the court, the 1st Circuit's circuit executive tells me, as a federal statute would bar Julia Lipez as a close relative from joining it otherwise. https://t.co/kbAlqJrpMq
