NEWSPAPER URGES SENATE TO SCHEDULE CONRAD HEARING
The Charlotte Observer has issued an editorial call on behalf of Judge Robert Conrad who was nominated last summer to a seat on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. A former U.S. attorney, Conrad has served on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of N.C. since 2005 and as its chief judge since 2006. In urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to grant Conrad a hearing, the editorial denoted the existence of five vacancies on the 4th Circuit bench, including one created when Judge J. Dickson Phillips Jr. of North Carolina took senior status in 1994.
