Will Crain, an associate justice on the Louisiana Supreme Court, was nominated Monday by President Donald Trump to be a federal judge in New Orleans.

If confirmed by the Senate, Crain would fill one of three vacancies on the federal bench in the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Crain has been a judge at various levels since 2009, including the last six years on Louisiana’s highest court. Crain was also a trial court judge and appeals court judge in St. Tammany Parish before winning an election in 2019 to join the Louisiana Supreme Court.

Trump wrote that Crain “has proven he has the Wisdom and Courage required to put our Constitution, FIRST. Now, more than ever, we need Judges who will hold violent criminals accountable, enforce the Rule of Law, and protect our Inalienable rights.”
