Political Quotes

“today, the Senate will vote to confirm U.S. Magistrate Judge Adam Abelson to the U.S. District Court for District of Maryland. Judge Adam Abelson's experience in the courtroom--as a litigator and on the bench--has prepared him to serve as a U.S. District Judge. After graduating from Princeton University and New York University School of Law, Judge Abelson clerked for the Hon. Catherine C. Blake on the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and the Hon. Andre M. Davis on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Following his clerkships, Judge Abelson worked as an associate and partner at Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, where his practice focused on complex civil and criminal litigation. Over the course of his legal career, he tried six cases to verdict, judgment, or final decision. In 2023, Judge Abelson was appointed by the judges of the District of Maryland to serve as a magistrate judge. Judge Abelson has the strong support from his home State Senators, Mr. Cardin and Mr. Van Hollen. In addition, he was rated unanimously ``well qualified'' by the American Bar Association. I urge my colleagues to support Judge Abelson's nomination.”
