Attorney Adeel Mangi was nominated for the Third Circuit seat left vacant by the retirement of Judge Joseph Greenaway Jr. earlier this year.

Mangi is a partner at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, where he has worked since 2000. He received a postgraduate diploma in professional legal skills from the City University London Inns of Court School of Law in 1999 and a master of laws degree from Harvard Law School the following year, the White House said.
