Delaware’s Judicial Nominating Commission issued notice last week seeking applicants to succeed Delaware Court of Chancery Chancellor Leo E. Strine Jr., who is set to be sworn in as state Supreme Court chief justice later this week. The JNC’s notice officially greenlighted a process that has generated much speculation since last year when Strine announced his intention to pursue the chief justice vacancy.
The notice was emailed to state attorneys through the Delaware State Bar Association’s listserv and posted on the Administrative Office of the Delaware Courts’ website. The AOC’s website also includes a link to the 12-page questionnaire applicants are required to submit as part of the application process.
