Congratulations to Hon.
Gregory E. Maggs, who
today became the 15th Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, previously the U.S. Court of Military Appeals. If he serves the full statutory five-year term as Chief, he will be succeeded by Judge
Liam P. Hardy on August 1, 2031. Judge Hardy, in turn, will be succeeded as Chief by Judge
M. Tia Johnson on August 1, 2035, since his term on the court expires on July 31, 2035. Judge Johnson would be Chief until her term on the court expires on July 31, 2037.
Over the court's history, the shortest tenure of a Chief Judge was that of Robert M. Duncan, who served as Chief from 1973 to 1974, when President Richard M. Nixon nominated him to be a federal district judge in Ohio.
All five position on the Court are occupied. There are also eight senior judges.
