JUDICIARY
Portsmouth Judge Confirmed to Federal Bench
The U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed a Portsmouth judge, Mark S. Davis, yesterday to become a federal district judge for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Davis, 46, is likely to serve in Alexandria but could sit elsewhere in the district, which includes Richmond, Norfolk and Newport News, according to an aide to Sen. James Webb (D-Va.). He is chief judge of the Portsmouth Circuit Court and was a partner at a Hampton Roads law firm.
Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.) and Webb praised Davis, who worked in Warner's office before attending law school. Both had recommended Davis.
