Today President Barack Obama nominated O. Rogeriee Thompson--a judge on the Rhode Island Superior Court--to a vacant seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and Denny Chin (S.D.N.Y.) to a vacancy on the Second Circuit.
Biographical information about both nominees is available below the jump.
The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has circulated the following brief job announcement to certain law schools for unpaid "internships" to start in Fall 2009:
***
Employer: U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
Title: Judicial Internship
Description: Judicial interns will be actively engaged in all aspects of a federal appellate judge's chambers (bench memos, opinions, etc.). Interns will gain experience in legal research and writing and exposure to the inner workings of a federal appellate court. Both current law sdhool students and recent law school graduates are elibible to apply. The internship is unpaid.
***
Given that there is only one federal appellate judge based in Puerto Rico, it appears that Judge Juan Torruella is the unnamed judge seeking these unpaid interns.
