He was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 1, 1907, and received his commission the same day. He assumed senior status on July 31, 1941, serving in that capacity until his death, in Lincoln, Nebraska, later that year. Having served for over 34 years, Munger was Roosevelt's longest-serving judicial appointee.
