- The <em>Senate Judiciary Committee </em>holds a hearing with the candidate, interviewing he or her about things like their judicial philosophy, past rulings or opinions, and ideas about certain areas of Law;
- As part of this process, the committee sends a blue slip to senators from the home state in which the judicial election was received, allowing them to indicate whether or not they approve of the candidate
4. After the hearing, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote to approve or return the candidate;
- If approved, the candidate is voted on by the full Senate.
- If the Committee votes to return the candidate to the president, the president has the opportunity to re-nominate the individual.
5. The Senate holds a vote on the candidate.
- If the Senate confirms the nomination, the nominee receives a commission to serve a lifelong position as a Federal Judge.
- If the Senate does not confirm the nomination, that candidate does not become a judge.
