Attorney Matthew Z. Leopold of Carlton Fields Jorden Burt has been appointed by U.S. Sens. Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio to the Florida Federal Judicial Nominating Commission.

Leopold, who is based in the Carlton Fields Government Law and Consulting practice group, will be on the Northern District Conference, one of three corresponding to each of Florida’s federal judicial districts.

The commission recommends candidates to be U.S. District Court judges, U.S. attorneys, and U.S. marshals in Florida. If the senators agree with the suggestions, candidates’ names are forwarded to the White House for presidential consideration.

Based in Tallahassee, Leopold joined the national Carlton Fields law firm this past March. Previously, he was general counsel of the Florida Department of Environment Protection. Before that, he was a lawyer at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Leopold has more than a decade of federal and state government experience, with a focus on environmental, energy, water law, and litigation.
