Court Of Chancery Seeks New Judge

July 6, 2009[edit]

Delaware: The Vice Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery, Stephen Lamb, announced in March that he will not be seeking a second term. The Judicial Nominating Commission of Delaware is seeking applicants to fill the position. Commission Chairman Michael Parkowski is expecting 10-12 applicants for the position. The Commission will narrow the options to three candidates. Those candidates will go to Governor Jack Markell in August, at which point he will nominate one of them. The Delaware Senate will next vote on his nomination.

The position is open to any Delaware citizen who has passed the state bar exam, however, all applicants must be Republican in order to meet the mandated political balance of the court. Applications are due July 15, 2009.^[1]
