President Obama Nominates Judge Jacqueline H Nguyen to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

Fri, 09/23/2011 - 09:13

More promising news on the judicial diversity front - President Obama has nominated Judge Jacqueline H Nguyen of the Federal District Court of California's Central District to the 9th Circuit United States Court of Appeals. If approved, Judge Nguyen would be the first Asian American female judge on the Court of Appeals, and only the second Asian American overall! However, given all of the obstructive and often-racist stonewalling of President Obama's judicial nominees by Republican Senators, who knows what will happen. Here's to hoping that Judge Nguyen is quickly confirmed.

Judge Denny Chin Nominated to 2nd Circuit; Would Be Only APA Fed. Appellate Judge

Tue, 10/06/2009 - 13:24

After several weeks of rumors, President Obama officially nominated federal district Judge Denny Chin of the Southern District of New York to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. If confirmed, Judge Chin will be the ONLY federal appellate judge of APA descent; Judge Wallace Tashima of the Ninth Circuit has taken senior status and is thus no longer considered an active judge.
