Advocates from local bar associations are calling on Senator Chuck Schumer to consider their recommendations for how to fill a federal judge seat with a lifetime appointment.
The seat in the Western District of New York was recently vacated by Judge Frank Geraci, who assumed the status of Senior Judge. President Biden is responsible for nominating a new judge, and the Senate will confirm it.
This hour, our guests discuss their recommendations, the position, and the impact it has on the district.
Our guests:
- Peachie L. Jones, president of the Rochester Black Bar Association
- Langston McFadden, immediate past president of the Monroe County Bar Association
- Josie Shepard Wilson, immediate past president of the Greater Rochester Association for Women Attorneys
