President Donald Trump is expected in the coming weeks to announce his nominees for two openings on Delaware’s federal bench, as his administration vets three candidates forwarded by the state’s two Democratic senators.

Multiple sources confirmed last week that Morgan, Lewis & Bockius partner Colm F. Connolly, Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell partner Maryellen Noreika and Douglas E. McCann, a principal in Fish & Richardson’s Delaware office, were all on the shortlist to fill the vacancies left by U.S. District Judges Sue L. Robinson and Gregory M. Sleet.
