I am in strong support of Judge Daniel Breen to be United States District Judge for the Western District of Tennessee. For more than a decade Judge Breen has admirably served the state of Tennessee's Western District as a United States Magistrate Judge. Before assuming this position in the Jackson and Memphis area, he practiced law in most of the surrounding West Tennessee counties for sixteen years. Judge Breen graduated first in his class from Spring Hill College and later graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Law. His list of bar-related and civic activities is long and distinguished: President of the Tennessee Bar Association, Subcommittee Chair in the American Bar Association, Executive Committee member of the West Tennessee Council Boy Scouts of America, and a Lifetime Board Member of the West Tennessee Cerebral Palsy Center. As you can tell, his roots are deep with the people he serves. In addition to an active civil trial docket, Judge Breen is also recognized as an effective mediator, and an instructor and author on alternative dispute resolution. He has made a broad range of contributions to the bar, as well as the State and Federal courts. This work has earned him the respect of the local legal community. I have heard from many in the Tennessee bar praising Judge Breen's thoughtfulness and judicial temperament. Judge Breen is a dedicated, hard working and even-handed jurist.
