Happy Friday from Avalon and Brad, and welcome to another roundup of news about the judiciary. This week, we took a look at two of President Biden’s judicial nominees who withdrew recently, and why. Plus, we’ve got thoughts from one federal judge about how to increase the public’s faith in the judiciary as independent: more non-partisan merit selection committees.
As always, please reach out to us at [email protected] or [email protected] with any tips or feedback. Follow us on Twitter at @AvalonZoppo and @BradKutner.
