The U.S. Senate voted to confirm Edmund LaCour Jr.’s federal judgeship nomination for the Northern District of Alabama.

LaCour, who has served with the Attorney General’s Office since 2019 as solicitor general of Alabama, was originally nominated to serve as a U.S. district judge by President Donald Trump in August.
