Wonderful news. She'll be great. A former Judge Ungaro clerk and former AUSA, she knows the federal system well. She's also practiced civil and appellate litigation. Importantly, she's a nice and good person. A graduate of Princeton and then UM law. Congratulations to Melissa!
Update: Judge Ungaro had this comment: “No one can be another John O’Sullivan. But Melissa will do the district proud. She is whip smart. But more important, she has heart and a deep and sincere desire to serve this diverse community. And, of course, she has great affection for the court. “
Yay! Great choice.
