President Obama Nominates Three Judges

Yesterday President Obama nominated Nannette Jolivette Brown to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Nancy Torresen to the United States District Court for the District of Maine, and Wilma Antoinette Lewis to the United States District Court for the Virgin Islands. If confirmed, Ms. Brown and Ms. Torrensen would obtain lifetime appointments and Ms. Lewis would serve for a term of 10 years, since the Virgin Islands is a territorial court. President Obama has now nominated twelve judges to lifetime appointments during the 112th Congress..
