The American Bar Association (ABA) Judicial Division (JD) Bylaws provide that, at each Annual Meeting, the JD elects a Vice-Chair whose term begins at the close of that Annual Meeting. It is now the time for the Appellate Judges Conference (AJC) to select a representative from our Conference to serve as the Vice-Chair of the JD. Other duties and responsibilities of the Vice-Chair include serving as the Vice-Chair of the JD’s Strategic Planning Committee.
The AJC Nominating Committee is charged with recommending the representative to serve as the JD Vice-Chair. The AJC Executive Committee will vote on the recommendation and submit its nominee to the JD Nominating Committee. The JD Nominating Committee will then vote on that nomination at the 2023 ABA Midyear Meeting in New Orleans, LA.
