New Delhi: According to news, US President Joe Biden has now nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve in the Supreme Court. Significantly, this will be the first time that a black woman has been nominated by the President in this way to serve as a judge on the Supreme Court.
Significantly, Jackson is currently a judge in the US Court of Appeals on the DC Circuit. In this regard, President Biden has said that Jackson’s record has been very good. She also has vast experience in legal matters.
Let us tell you that Jackson has been nominated in place of Justice Stephen Breyer. He is going to retire in about three months to four months. Before becoming president, Biden made a big promise to nominate a black woman judge to the US Supreme Court. He had said that the representation of the whole of America in the US government and quotes is not yet visible. He had said that he wants such courts in which America’s full talent and greatness is reflected in its widest form.
For information, let us tell you that Jackson is 51 years old. She was also nominated to the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit last year. She was born in 1970 in Washington DC. He has completed his graduation from Harvard Law School. Not only this, she is very hardworking and believes in hard work. Due to this, she has now been nominated as a justice of the highest court of America.
Jackson, 51, has led a professional and personal life at once classic and unpredictable. Unlike most judges, her background is not as a prosecutor or major corporate lawyer, and her personal life also defies stereotypes.
Professionally, she is an experienced judge. For eight years, she served as a federal trial court judge and last June was confirmed for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
Prior to her becoming a judge, her legal experience was extensive and varied. While four members of the current court were at one time prosecutors, Jackson, if nominated, would be the first Supreme Court justice since Thurgood Marshall to have represented indigent criminal defendants.
At the White House event, Jackson opened her remarks by saying she was humbled by the nomination, noting that it came at a time when there was a lot going on in the world.
