The Volokh Conspiracy - First Obama Court of Appeals Nominee

President Obama has just named his first court of appeals nominee -- district judge David Hamilton, nominated for the Seventh Circuit.

I had the pleasure of working with Judge Hamilton for several years on the Judicial Conference's Criminal Law Committee. He always struck me as a very sensible and reasonable person -- a good selection for the Seventh Circuit.
