Indian-American attorney Arun Subramanian nominated to US Drict Judge in New York

US President Joe Biden has nominated Indian-American attorney Arun Subramanian to be US Drict Judge for the Southern Drict of New York.
A communication in this regard was on Tuesday sent to the Senate the White House along with other judicial nominations.
If confirmed the Senate, Subramanian would be the first South Asian judge to serve on the United States Drict Court for the Southern Drict of New York.
Currently a partner at Susman Godfrey LLP in New York, where he has worked since 2007, Subramanian served as a law clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court of the United States from 2006 to 2007 and Judge Gerard E. Lynch on the United States Drict Court for the Southern Drict of New York from 2005 to 2006.
He also worked as a law clerk for Judge Dennis Jacobs on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit from 2004 to 2005.
Subramanian received his J.D. from Columbia Law School in 2004 and his B.A. from Case Western Reserve University in 2001.
National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) congratulated Subramanian on his nomination.

AB Cruz III, acting president of NAPABA said Subramanian is an experienced trial and appellate attorney with a strong track record of pro bono service.
“A child of immigrants, he became the first lawyer in his family, and we are proud to see him represent our community. We urge the Senate to swiftly confirm him,” he said.
Indian-American Impact has welcomed the nomination describing it as a notable nomination.
“South Asians and Asian Americans have long been underrepresented in the federal judiciary — with less than five per cent of Article III drict judges being of AAPI descent — but in the past year we have made horic strides,” said Neil Makhija, Indian-American Impact executive-director.
“We look forward to celebrating the ultimate confirmation of Subramanian and the ripple effect his presence will undoubtedly have on young South Asian Americans across the country who aspire to public service,” Makhija said.
