Today's New Jersey Law Journal contains a very detailed profile of Judge Thomas Greenaway, Jr., (D.N.J.). As you may recall, President Obama recently nominated Judge Greenway to the vacant New Jersey seat on the Third Circuit. The NJLJ describes Judge Greenaway as a "centrist," and, in addition to providing some information about his personal background, examines some of the most prominent cases in which his opinions have been affirmed or reversed.
President Obama has officially nominated District Judge Thomas Greenaway, Jr., (D.N.J.) to the Third Circuit seat held by Justice Samuel Alito prior to his elevation, and has also nominated District Judge Beverly Martin (N.D. Ga.) to the Eleventh Circuit. The official White House press release, which contains additional information about the nominees, is available here. Those following judicial nominations will recognize that these two nominations are consistent with President Obama's previous appellate nominations, which have all entailed elevating sitting judges to higher courts.
Clerkship applicants should note that both Judge Greenaway and Judge Martin are (or soon will be) taking applications for 2010-11 clerkships, so those interested in a federal appellate clerkship might benefit from submitting applications to them now since, given the Democratic tilt of the Senate, both nominees will almost certainly be elevated to their respective circuit courts prior to 2010.
