Congratulations to ACBA member and Alameda County Superior Court Judge Eumi K. Lee on her nomination by President Biden to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California! Judge Lee still needs to be confirmed by the Senate, and a timeline for confimation has not been set. A graduate of Pomona College and the Georgetown University Law Center, Judge Lee worked as a law clerk for late judge Jerome Turner in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee from 1999 to 2000 and late judge Warren J. Ferguson in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from 2001 to 2002 — employed as an associate at Thelen, Reid & Priest LLP in between. She practiced law as an associate at Keker & Van Nest LLP from 2002 to 2005, and then served as a clinical professor of law at the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco (then known as the UC Hastings College of the Law) from 2005 until her appointment to the Alameda County bench in December 2018. Read more
