Senators accepting applications for federal judgeship
U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters are accepting applications from qualified persons interested in nomination for federal judge in the Eastern District of Michigan.
Interested candidates should request an application by emailing judicialnominations@stabenow.senate.gov.
The deadline to submit an application is 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9.
It is the Senate’s tradition for both home state senators to recommend judicial nominees to the president for consideration.
After someone is nominated, it is Senate procedure for the home state senators to agree to consideration of a nominee before the Senate Judiciary Committee conducts hearings and votes.
This is commonly called the “blue slip” process.
Nominations approved by the committee are then considered by the full Senate.
