Bush nominates Waddoups for judge
On Tuesday, Clark Waddoups of Parr, Waddoups, Brown, Gee & Loveless was chosen by President Bush to fill the federal judicial vacancy left by the departure of U.S. District Judge Paul Cassell. The nomination is pending confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
Waddoups was one of several candidates for the judicial position but was the only candidate from Utah.
Both of Utah's U.S. senators, Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett, R-Utah, have expressed support for the president's nomination.
Waddoups is a trial lawyer specializing in commercial litigation, including antitrust, securities, labor/employment, banking, construction, environmental and insurance claims.
If his nomination is confirmed, Waddoups will join a long line of law firm partners and associates who have gone on to become judges.
Judge Dale Kimball, a former partner, and Judge Dee Benson, a former firm associate, now serve as federal judges in Utah. Utah Supreme Court justices Matthew Durrant and Jill Parrish also were firm partners, as was Utah Court of Appeals Judge Carolyn McHugh.
Waddoups is nominated to fill the vacancy left by Cassell, who stepped down from the bench to go back to teaching law at the University of Utah last November.
