Madeline Orling Connolly has been nominated to fill the associate circuit judge vacancy in St. Louis, Missouri. The Twenty-Second Circuit Judicial Commission announced the panel of three nominees on January 18.

The five-member commission, composed of a court of appeals judge, two lawyers, and two non-lawyer community members, interviewed 27 initial applicants for the position. The commission submitted only three nominees to Missouri Governor Eric Greitens for consideration.

A decision is expected from Governor Greitens by mid-March. Read the Missouri Courts press release here.
