Barnett Becomes Chief Judge of US Court of International Trade

Judge Mark Barnett became chief judge of the U.S. Court of International Trade, after former Chief Judge Timothy Stanceu's move Monday to senior judge status, according to the court's website. Barnett joined the court in 2013 as a President Barack Obama appointee and was the court's longest-tenured judge after Stanceu's move. Barnett sits on the three-judge panel presiding over the court's massive Section 301 litigation, with Judges Claire Kelly and Jennifer Choe-Groves.
