Judge Lynch, 58, has been a federal judge since 2000. His diverse background also includes time as a professor, a counsel at Covington & Burling, a federal prosecutor, and an associate independent counsel during the Iran/Contra investigation. Judge Lynch, a graduate of Columbia Law School, fills the vacancy created in 2008 when Judge Chester Straub took senior status.
