The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has begun its search for two temporary bankruptcy judges in Delaware, about 10 months after Congress passed legislation to provide reinforcement for one of the busiest bankruptcy courts in the nation.

In a public notice dated Sept. 5, Chief Judge D. Brooks Smith of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit said the court would be accepting electronic applications for the two positions through Oct. 5, a timeline that Potter Anderson & Corroon partner Jeremy W. Ryan said could produce new judges by the end of the year.
