President Trump To Nominate Jennifer Mascott To Third Circuit

|The Volokh Conspiracy |


I am very pleased that President Trump has announced that he will nominate Professor Jennifer Mascott to the Third Circuit.

I have known Jenn for more than a decade, and have always found her to be a thoughtful scholar, a sharp lawyer, and a kind person. Perhaps most importantly, Jenn has proven herself to be the rare academic with strong scholarly bona fides and practical experience in public affairs. Jenn served in the Office of Legal Counsel during Trump's first term, and now serves in the White House Counsel's Office. That background will serve her well on the federal bench.

Congratulations to Jenn!
