Newest 5th Circuit Judge is Leslie Southwick from Mississippi

former Mississippi Court of Appeals judge Leslie Southwick was confirmed by the Senate last week to become the newest 5th Circuit Judge from Mississippi. We had previously blogged about Judge Southwicks nomination here and here and here. Even with a little commentary left in the comments by Congressman Al Green from Houston, Texas.

I think most of the editors of this blog are happy about the confirmation as we know Judge Southwick through his being an adjunct professor as the school 2 of us work at.
