The U.S. Senate voted to confirm Edmund LaCour Jr.’s federal judgeship nomination for the Northern District of Alabama.

LaCour, who has served with the Attorney General’s Office since 2019 as solicitor general of Alabama, was originally nominated to serve as a U.S. district judge by President Donald Trump in August.

“As the Solicitor General, Edmund has done a terrific job representing the Great State of Alabama, especially in cases before the United States Supreme Court,” Trump wrote of LaCour in a post on Truth Social. “He is highly intelligent, talented, and will strongly protect the Constitution. Congratulations Edmund!”

The Senate voted, along party lines, 51-47 on Wednesday to confirm LaCour’s federal judgeship appointment.
