Former University of Notre Dame law professor Amy Coney Barrett is on President Donald Trump’s list of potential replacements for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

She is one on a list of 25 potential nominees. That list was created by the Trump Administration during the campaign and released in November 2017 prior to the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.
