Tampa attorney Bill Jung was nominated Wednesday for a federal judgeship in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, giving him the rare distinction of being nominated for the bench by the three most recent presidents.
Jung's nomination by President Donald Trump follows the expiration of his 2016 nomination by President Barack Obama to fill the seat left vacant by U.S. District Judge Anne Conway. Jung was also nominated in 2008 by President George W. Bush, but his nomination was returned just before Obama took office.
Reached Wednesday, the Jung & Sisco partner declined to comment on the nomination. His practice focuses on civil, commercial and white-collar defense litigation. Jung was a federal prosecutor for six years in the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida and worked for Carlton Fields Jorden Burt's Tampa office as a civil litigator.
