President Joe Biden released his first list of federal judicial nominees on Tuesday, including three appeals court candidates.

The list includes Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who would replace Attorney General Merrick Garland on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The D.C. Circuit is known to be the second-highest court in the nation and often leads to the bench of the U.S. Supreme Court.
