Rumors about this have been swirling for some time now, but it was confirmed for me by an email from the Delaware State Bar Association:
The Judicial Nominating Commission gives public notice that it has received notification from the Governor that the following office can be filled by the appointment of the Governor with the concurrence of the Senate:
Chancellor of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
(Due to the retirement of The Honorable William B. Chandler III)
Chancellor Chandler has been a terrific judge, and he is a terrific person. I have appreciated his willingness to engage with academic lawyers and to write opinions that are clear and thoughtful. He will be greatly missed.
His Airgas opinion was the text for my most recent Business Associations examination, and watching the students work through that opinion made me appreciate all the more the quality of his judging.
Best of luck, Bill! I hope our paths will cross often in the future.
