Arkansas senators endorse judge

U.S. Senators Mark Pryor and John Boozman today recommended three individuals for Arkansas’s U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

“The “advise and consent” role in the judicial process is more personal and challenging when it involves your home state,” Pryor said. “Arkansas has many well-qualified candidates who could fill this position. I am proud to put forth these individuals who I strongly believe would serve the bench with integrity, fairness and the proper judicial temperament.”

“I congratulate the individuals that Senator Pryor has put forward to the White House to fill this vacant seat,” Boozman said. “I am confident that the Senate will confirm an experienced candidate who is honest and will uphold our nation’s laws to successfully serve on the bench.”

For the vacancy created by the Honorable James M. Moody assuming senior status, Pryor and Boozman have recommended the following Arkansans as candidates for U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas: Kristine G. Baker, Jane W. Duke, and Colette D. Honorable.

Once nominated by the President, the candidate for a federal judgeship must testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee and be confirmed by the entire Senate.
