Judicial Nominations 101: Pathways to the Federal Bench - Article III and Magistrate Judges

Zoom

Please join ACS, Alliance for Justice, and the National Association of Consumer Advocates for an off-the-record conversation that serves to demystify the process of selecting both magistrate and Article III judges, highlight the vital role magistrate judges play in shaping the law and the communities they serve, and illustrate how service as a magistrate judge can be a pathway to an Article III appointment.

Panelists will also share candid do’s and don’ts for prospective candidates and answer participant questions directly.

Featuring:

Hon. Mustafa Kasubhai, U.S. District Judge, District of Oregon; Formerly Magistrate Judge

Hon. Jonathan Hawley, U.S. District Judge, Central District of Illinois; Formerly Magistrate Judge

Hon. Jennifer Willis, U.S. Magistrate Judge, Southern District of New York
