Federal Judicial Selection In The Fourth Circuit, Carl W. Tobias
Federal Judicial Selection In The Fourth Circuit, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
Professor Tobias assesses federal judicial selection for the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and for North Carolina. His Essay ascertains that four of fifteen active judgeships that Congress has authorized for the court have remained vacant over a considerable period and that a seat designated for North Carolina has been unfilled for seven years. He finds that these judicial vacancies may affect the appellate justice which the Fourth Circuit delivers and that North Carolina deserves.
