Wisconsin: A vacancy on the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit is coming in 2010, when Judge Terence Evans will take senior status. The Wisconsin Federal Judicial Nominating Commission has recommended Eastern District of Wisconsin judge Lynn Adelman, Milwaukee County Circuit judge Richard John Sankovitz, attorneys Dean Strang and Linda Clifford, and University of Wisconsin law professors Anuj Desai and Victoria Nourse to President Obama for nomination.[1]

David Hamilton has been nominated to fill the current vacancy on the Seventh Circuit, and a Republican filibuster attempt to block his nomination was ended on November 17th.[2]
