Happy Friday from Avalon and Brad, and welcome to another roundup of the week’s news about the judiciary. This week Brad returns to the Senate Judiciary Committee where President Joe Biden’s nominations for federal court seats remain stymied for any number of reasons.Thursday’s meeting was no different, but a positive vote for the sole nominee could bode well for the future. And Avalon has comments from a federal trial judge on civility, and how to foster it in the courtroom.
