President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats are vetting civil rights lawyers and public defenders to nominate as judges, embarking on a mission to shape the courts after Republicans overhauled them in the last four years, according to senior party officials and activists.

There are dozens of federal court vacancies and a handful on circuit courts, and some are preparing for a Supreme Court retirement as early as this summer. |
