Senators, Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley, invited Iowa lawyers Friday to submit their names for consideration for the Northern District of Iowa judgeship. The senators intend to make recommendations to fill the position that will become vacant when current judge, Linda R. Reade, of Cedar Rapids, takes senior status. Reade was recommended for the position in 2002 and served as Chief Judge since 2007. Interested applicants should submit a resume, three letters of recommendation, references and a completed Senate Judiciary Committee question to Grassley’s Regional Director Fred Schuster at fred_schuster@grassley.senate.gov. Schuster will provide the questionnaire upon request by email or by phone at 319-363-6832. Those forms must be submitted by Aug. 11.
