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.

Jung also clerked for then-U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Judge Gerald Bard Tjoflat.

He earned his bachelor's degree from Vanderbilt University and his law degree from the University of Illinois College of Law, where he graduated at the top of his class. Jung was rated “well-qualified” by the American Bar Association after his 2016 nomination to the bench.
