Biden Nominates Two Judges from Silver Spring to Maryland U.S. District Court
The two women President Joe Biden nominated to sit on the Maryland U.S. District Court had their hearings before the U.S. Senate’s Committee on the Judiciary Wednesday morning. Both have ties to Silver Spring.
U.S. Claims Court Judge Lydia Griggsby of Silver Spring currently serves as chair of the Court’s Committee on Legislation and Policy and is a member of the Court’s Management Committee. She is a life-long Maryland resident. If confirmed by the Senate, Judge Griggsby would be the first Black woman to serve as a U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Maryland.
