Federal judicial service
On November 27, 2012, President Barack Obama nominated Schmehl to serve as a United States District Judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, to the seat vacated by Judge Thomas M. Golden, who died on July 31, 2010.[3] He was nominated as part of a bipartisan package of nominees which included Nitza I. Quiñones Alejandro and L. Felipe Restrepo.[5] On January 2, 2013, his nomination was returned to the President, due to the sine die adjournment of the Senate. On January 3, 2013, he was renominated to the same office. He received a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 13, 2013. On March 7, 2013, his nomination was reported out of committee by a voice vote. The United States Senate confirmed him on June 13, 2013 by a 100–0 vote.[6] He received his commission on June 25, 2013.[4]
