Charles Bernard Day

Charles Bernard Day (born April 12, 1957) is a former United States magistrate judge and former nominee to be a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. His nomination to a life-tenure, federal district court judgeship during 2010 and 2011 ran aground amid opposition from Republican senators, who objected to moving forward with a United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary hearing on his nomination after what were reported to be "insurmountable concerns" by Republicans over matters raised during Day's background investigation. Early life and education Day was born on April 12, 1957 in Dothan, Alabama. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice from the University of Maryland in 1978, a Master of Science in judicial administration in 1980 from American University and a Juris Doctor in 1984 from the University of Maryland School of Law.
