Litigators Andre G. Bouchard and David C. McBride are the two applicants for the Delaware Court of Chancery’s vacant chancellor position, according to sources familiar with the process. Bouchard is seen as the likely favorite for the position that was most recently held by current Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Leo E. Strine Jr.
Bouchard, the managing partner of Bouchard Margules & Friedlander, was formerly the head of the Judicial Nominating Commission. He is viewed as the front-runner because of his good reputation among the corporate law community and his political affiliation. Currently, the Chancery Court is composed of three Democrats and two Republicans. However, Strine’s departure created an even split on the court, enabling Gov. Jack Markell to appoint someone from either party under Delaware’s political balance rules.
