Henry Greenberg, a Greenberg Traurig shareholder in Albany, has been appointed new counsel to the state Commission on Judicial Nomination. Greenberg will succeed Stephen Younger, a partner at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, who is resigning after five years in the post.

The 12-member commission nominates the lists of candidates from which governors select openings to the state Court of Appeals. The commission is chaired by former chief judge Judith Kaye, who is of counsel to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
