The American Bar Association (ABA) is a major actor in the selection of federal judges, but they do not have a formal role. The ABA evaluates potential nominees and rates them as "well-qualified," "qualified," or "not qualified." While their evaluations are not binding, they are highly influential and can affect the perception of a nominee's qualifications. The American Bar Association is a major actor in the selection of federal judges by conducting evaluations and providing recommendations to the president and the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, the ABA does not have a formal role in the selection process. The other options listed all have formal roles in the selection of federal judges - the Deputy Attorney General assists in the vetting process, the Chief Justice presides over the Judicial Conference which recommends candidates, and the Senate has the power to confirm or reject nominations.
