Bar Association Panel Finds Trump’s Kentucky Judicial Nominee Unqualified
The American Bar Association has issued a finding stating that Justin Walker, President Trump’s nominee for the federal bench in Kentucky, is unqualified because of his lack of experience, reports the Louisville Courier Journal.
The ABA’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary says Walker “does not presently have the requisite trial or litigation experience or its equivalent.”
Walker, 37, is a conservative intellectual who clerked for Brett Kavanaugh when he sat on the U.S. District Court of Appeals, according to the Courier Journal‘s Andrew Wolfson. He has practiced at Dinsmore Shohl in Louisville since January and is co-director of University of Louisville’s new Ordered Liberty Program.
