And when confronted by a handful of senators at her confirmation hearing, she responded with the brilliance and calmness she is known for—a temperament that will make her the kind of fair and impartial federal judge that our judiciary deserves.
Rikelman’s commitment to civil and human rights will be an asset to the federal bench. Her understanding of how the law impacts people’s lives and her extensive experience defending people’s rights will greatly benefit the First Circuit and all who come before the court. to the Senate Judiciary Committee: “She understands that the law is not just abstract principles and rules, but at its core is about the individuals and organizations whose rights, liberties, property, and lives are at stake.
Confirming Julie Rikelman will ensure we have a court that better reflects and represents the experiences of all people in America—and it will move us closer to ensuring equal justice for all. We urge the Senate to confirm her to the U.S Court of Appeals for the First Circuit without delay.
