U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cummings will become the fifth judge whom President Joe Biden has appointed to the Northern District of Illinois.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffery Cummings appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Feb. 15, 2023, in Washington. The U.S. Senate on Tuesday voted 50-45 to confirm Cummings, of Chicago, to be a federal district court judge on the Chicago-based Northern District of Illinois.
Cummings, who is a 1987 graduate of Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, will become the fifth judge whom President Joe Biden has appointed to the Northern District of Illinois. He was named after Judge Robert Dow of the Northern District of Illinois was appointed to be counselor to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
At a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in February, Durbin said that in Cummings’ time as a magistrate judge, he has “displayed an evenhanded judicial temperament and dedication to the rule of law.”
