President Obama Doubles Number of APA Federal Judges In Just Three Years

From the White House: “With yesterday’s Senate confirmation of Miranda Du to be a U.S. District Court Judge in the District of Nevada, President Obama has doubled the number of Asian American and Pacific Islander federal judges – in just over three years.” This is an especially important development, given the historical paucity of APA federal judges, and given the research that shows that the demographic background of a judge affects decision-making.
