President Joe Biden on Monday unveiled his first new judicial nominees in nearly a month, as he moved to appoint four new federal judges in three states.
The nominees include Darrel Papillion, a former president of the Louisiana State Bar Association and trial lawyer in Baton Rouge, nominated to serve as a federal judge in the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Biden's other federal judicial nominees are Jeremy Daniel, a federal prosecutor in Chicago nominated to be a judge in the Northern District of Illinois, and Brendan Abell Hurson and Matthew Maddox, two federal magistrate judges in Maryland up for life-tenured positions as district court judges. The progressive Alliance for Justice says Biden has also won the confirmation of a record 31 judicial nominees with backgrounds as public defenders, whose ranks in the judiciary are small compared to former prosecutors and law firm partners.
