Delaware Gov. Jack Markell has nominated Court of Chancery Chancellor Leo E. Strine Jr. to be the next chief justice of the Delaware Supreme Court. Strine has served on the Chancery Court since 1998 and has led the nation’s preeminent business court since 2011.
“Delaware’s judiciary is widely recognized as the finest in the nation. With his superior intellect, incredible work ethic, and substantial judicial experience, Leo Strine is well-positioned to build upon our courts’ deserved reputation for excellence if he is confirmed by the Senate,” Markell said in a released statement.
