DIFFICULT DECISIONS OVER 28 YEARS with JUDGE ANNA BROWN
Only four women have served as a U.S. District Court (i.e., Article III) judge since the court’s founding in 1859. U.S.D.C. Judge Anna Brown—the third woman to be appointed to the federal District Court bench—will discuss how she has approached making difficult decisions over the course of her 28-year judicial career, from her first state court appointment in 1992 to her appointment as an Article III judge for the District of Oregon in 1999.
