Rumor has it that the nominee will be Edith Brown Clement, chief judge on the federal circuit court for Louisianna....
Does she have any kind of a record on open source/culture issues?
Also, doesnt Louisianna differ greatly from most common law as an offshoot of French law? I remember reading something about that years ago.
Any light someone can shed on these issues would be much appreciated.
Thanks
She sits on the federal bench -- the source of Louisiana state law shouldn't have any impact on that court.
yes, im aware that she is a federal judge... but her background in law school and in private practice is based in Louisiana. Specifically in maritime law from what Ive read about her.
Doesnt a background in LA and Maritime law represent a very obscure nitche to pull a nominee from?
