Pathways to the Bench: U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Jacqueline H. Nguyen

Long before she was the first Asian American woman appointed to serve on the federal bench in Los Angeles, Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Jacqueline Nguyen understood hard work. As a child, when her family had to flee their idyllic life in Vietnam, she became an integral part of building her family’s future in California. She had to be willing to step out of her comfort zone in order to serve. What has life taught her? “Have the courage and work ethic to accept opportunities that will shape your life.”

Very inspirational. Federal judges seem to be somewhat more decent, in my opinion, that state judges. This judge looks like she would be fair and decent.
