Obama nominates Koh to serve on Ninth Circuit

US President Barack Obama has nominated Judge Lucy Koh to serve on the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The White House released a statement yesterday, February 25, nominating Koh for the position.

Since 2010, Koh has worked as a district judge at the US District Court for the Northern District of California.

She also worked as a California superior court judge for Santa Clara County from 2008 to 2010.

Koh has also worked as a partner at law firm McDermott Will & Emery, where she focused her practice on trade secret and patent litigation.

Obama said Koh “has distinguished herself as a first-rate jurist with unflagging integrity and even-handedness”.

“I am grateful for her service to the state of California and look forward to adding her considerable wisdom and experience to the ninth circuit court."
