Circuit. Norton recommended Pan to President Biden for the U.S. District Court for D.C. Pan is the second judge recommended by Norton to be approved for a higher court this year. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, whom Norton recommended to President Obama for the U.S. District Court for D.C., was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court. "Congratulations to Judge Florence Pan on her Senate confirmation today," Norton said. "Judge Pan has the professional experience and academic credentials to be an outstanding federal circuit court judge. She also brings much-needed diversity to the federal circuit courts. I have full confidence that she will offer excellent service on our federal circuit court." Biden, like Presidents Clinton and Obama, granted Norton senatorial courtesy to recommend judges for the U.S. District Court for D.C., the U.S. Attorney for D.C., the U.S. Marshal for the D.C. Superior Court, and the U.S. Marshal for the U.S. District Court for D.C. Norton has established a nominating commission, comprised of lawyers and non-lawyers from all eight wards in D.C., to screen applicants and to make recommendations to her for the senatorial courtesy positions. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |
