Federal judicial service

After Barack Obama was elected president, Marshall interviewed with Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln about a vacant federal district court slot on December 29, 2008. On March 12, 2009, Lincoln and Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor told Marshall that he and others would be recommended to the White House for consideration. On December 3, 2009, Obama formally nominated Marshall to the seat, to replace Judge William Roy Wilson Jr., who had taken senior status in October 2008.[3] The United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary reported Marshall's nomination to the full Senate on February 11, 2010.[4] The United States Senate confirmed Marshall by voice vote on May 5, 2010. He received his commission on May 6, 2010.[2] He became Chief Judge on July 23, 2019.

gollark: Is there even a model of ethics humans have which doesn't eventually produce terrible results?
gollark: UTCish, 16:00ish to 23:00ish.
gollark: They could at least use 0 AM for midnight and it'd actually be consistent.
