Mr. President, this week, the Senate continues its work confirming experienced, diverse nominees to the Federal judiciary. Today, the Senate will vote to confirm Judge Nina Wang, nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. Judge Wang currently serves as a magistrate judge in the District of Colorado. Prior to joining the bench, she worked in private practice, primarily representing plaintiffs and defendants in a broad range of complex intellectual property matters. Judge Wang also served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado, a role in which she litigated civil cases on employment, environmental, and civil rights matters. A graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and Harvard Law School, she clerked for Judge Peter J. Messitte on the District of Maryland a few years after earning her J.D. The American Bar Association has unanimously rated Judge Wang ``well qualified'', and she enjoys the strong support of her home State Senators, Mr. Bennet and Mr. Hickenlooper. I will support Judge Wang, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
