Is he stepping off the bench? I would be concerned if he intends to try to do both.

To answer my own question from earlier, he's doing both:

That article is from April, 2024, a year ago. Judge Shadid switched to "senior status" last September. That is a form of semi-retirement from his Federal judicial duties, though he officially retained his judgeship.

The BU President position has always been a full-time position, so most likely Judge Shadid will step down from his judicial duties, though I haven't seen that stated clearly anywhere.

I know it is, but he is still listed:

Federal judicial appointments are for life, so I suppose he could do both if he's on senior status.
