The D.C. Judicial Nomination Commission (JNC) invites qualified individuals to apply for vacancies on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals resulting from the retirement of Judge Kathryn A. Oberly in 2013 and the resignation of Judge Lauren L. AliKhan in 2023. After a previous application process, the U.S. Senate returned the nominations for each of these vacancies, and the president did not nominate any applicants. The deadline to apply for the vacancies is noon on January 15, 2026.

Application materials and instructions are available on the JNC website. Please note that the application forms were recently revised. Questions concerning the application process for judicial vacancies should be directed to the commission at 202-879-0478 or [email protected].
