Two private attorneys and a state public defender are said to be among the likely applicants for Judge Charles H. Toliver IV’s vacant seat on the Delaware Superior Court, according to sources familiar with the process. However, with the application process ending Friday, it is still possible that a dark-horse candidate could emerge.
Delaware legal sources say Toliver’s successor could be one of three candidates: Richard A. Forsten, a partner at Saul Ewing; Ferris Wharton of the New Castle County Public Defender’s Office; and Nancy Chrissinger Cobb, an attorney at Chrissinger & Baumberger. All three declined to comment on their interest in the position.
