Trade Court's Chief Judge Stanceu to Assume Senior Status April 5

Chief Judge Timothy Stanceu of the U.S. Court of International Trade will assume senior status at the court April 5, said an updated listing Wednesday on the U.S. Courts website. Stanceu, who turns 70 this year, was a 2003 appointee by President George W. Bush. It's speculated that Judge Mark Barnett, the longest-serving active judge on the court, will become chief judge. Barnett sits on the three-judge panel presiding over the massive Section 301 litigation, assigned there by Stanceu last month (see 2102050038).
