Magistrate Judge Nelson Nominated

Yesterday, Federal Magistrate Susan Richard Nelson was announced to be Senator Amy Klobuchar's recommendation to the U.S. District Court. Minnesota Women Lawyers released this statement:

Minnesota Women Lawyers congratulates our member and past president, Magistrate Judge Susan Richard Nelson, on her nomination to the U.S. District Court. We anticipate and encourage an efficient confirmation process. Magistrate Judge Nelson has served as a magistrate judge for nearly 10 years, and before that had a very successful trial practice. Not only is Magistrate Judge Nelson a qualified candidate with demonstrated experience as a judge, she brings important additional gender diversity to the court. MWL believes that it is important for the judiciary to fairly reflect the composition of the legal profession and the public that they serve, and applauds the nomination of Magistrate Judge Susan Richard Nelson for the federal district court bench.
