Jordan was nominated to a vacancy on the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by President George W. Bush on July 25, 2002, and confirmed by the United States Senate on November 14, 2002, by voice vote. He received his commission on November 15, 2002. His service as a district court judge was terminated on December 15, 2006 when he was elevated to the court of appeals.
Four years later, Bush nominated Jordan to the Third Circuit on June 28, 2006, to fill a vacancy left by Judge Jane Richards Roth. He was confirmed to that court by a 91–0 vote on December 8, 2006 during the waning hours of the final lame duck session of the 109th Congress. He received his commission on December 13, 2006.
Jordan's first precedential opinion for the Third Circuit was published on May 2, 2007. He authored the opinion for a unanimous three-judge panel in Eichorn v. AT&T II, an ERISA claims case. Judge Roth, whom Jordan was confirmed to replace, was a member of the panel.
