A Notre Dame graduate has been nominated by President Trump to serve as a federal judge in northern Indiana.

Joseph Falvey is the president’s choice for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, which includes South Bend, Fort Wayne and Hammond.

Falvey is also a Marine Corps veteran. His father was nominated by Trump to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in 2018.
