SUMMARY:The Making of a Judge: Perspectives from Federal Judges and the Senate Judiciary Committee
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\nThe Federal Bar Association warmly invites you to join our March 27\, 2026 program featuring a conversation between the Senate Judiciary Committee\, former White House Senior Counsel\, and the federal judiciary on the process of being appointed and confirmed as a federal judge. \nThis program aims to educate attorneys\, aspiring judges\, or anyone wishing to better understand the federal judicial selection process. Panelists will offer insight into how judicial candidates are identified and evaluated\, the role of negotiations and background investigations\, and how the confirmation process unfolds in practice. They will also share candid reflections on challenges associated with this process\, lessons learned\, and practical advice for prospective candidates—while dispelling common myths about becoming a federal judge. Federal judges will complement this discussion by reflecting on their own pathways to the bench\, offering guidance for those considering judicial service. \nThe program offers CLE credit and will conclude with a reception\, offering a rare opportunity to engage directly with judges and key participants in the judicial selection process. \nWe hope you will join us for this unique opportunity to engage in thoughtful conversation about public service and pathways to the bench. \nPresented by the FBA Younger Lawyers Division \nCo-Sponsors: FBA Capitol Hill Chapter\, FBA District of Columbia Chapter\, & FBA Federal Litigation Section \n  \nRegistration for this program is now closed. \n\nFriday\, March 27\, 206\nProgram: 4:00 – 5:00 pm ET\nReception: 5:00 – 6:00 pm ET \nVenue:\nThe Ritz Carlton\, Pentagon City\n1250 S Hayes St\nArlington\, VA 22202 \n\nPresenters\n\nPaige Herwig \nPaige Herwig served as Senior Counsel and Special Assistant to President Joseph Biden from January 2021 until June 2023\, where she led the judicial nominations team under White House Counsels Dana Remus and Stuart Delery; she additionally served as Associate Counsel and Special Assistant to President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2015 as a member of the judicial nominations team. \nMs. Herwig has also served as Deputy General Counsel at the U.S. Department of Commerce; Deputy General Counsel for the Biden-Harris Presidential Transition; Counselor to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch; Deputy General Counsel for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Minority Staff under Ranking Member Senator Dianne Feinstein; Chief Counsel to U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar; and Director of Governance and Strategic Initiatives at Facebook (now Meta).
