Courts - How to become a federal judge

From The Blog at Legal Times this entry today that begins:

Frustrated by the lack of centralized information on the process for becoming a federal judge, a coalition of legal groups has created its own booklet about the process.

With an electronic version and an initial printing of 10,000 copies, the legal groups are planning to distribute the booklet to law schools and young lawyers. The booklet explains the mechanics of the White House nomination process and the rigors of Senate confirmation, and it lays out the varied paths taken by six federal judges.

The BLT entry contains several useful links, including this one to the book itself, “The Path to the Federal Bench,” a guide to becoming a federal judge.
