The nominations reflect the Biden Administration’s commitment to professional diversity, as well as a concerted effort to turn the tide of an overrepresentation of corporate lawyers on the federal bench, said Linda Lipsen, CEO of the American Association for Justice.
[The] judicial nominees demonstrate a continued step towards a federal bench that will defend the rights of consumers and workers in a system that too often favors corporations and the executives who run them. Through the nominations of Tana Lin and David Estudillo, the Biden administration reiterates its commitment to nominating judges with professionally diverse backgrounds who will fight to give workers and consumers an equal chance at achieving justice and accountability under the law. We look forward to working with the Senate and the Biden administration on future nominations, and will continue to fight for nominees with experience representing the rights of workers, consumers, and survivors.”
