Not many superior court judges have their appointment announced to the world by the White House.

But that’s exactly what happened when Hon. Julie R. Breslow ’89 was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as an associate judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. In a Sept. 27 press release, the president said he was pleased to tap Judge Breslow and two others for 15-year terms on the DC Superior Court.

“I am confident they will serve the District of Columbia with integrity and a steadfast commitment to justice,” President Obama said.

Judge Breslow’s nomination is subject to confirmation by the US Senate.
