President Biden nominates Justice Maria Araujo Kahn to the US Circuit Court of Appeals

Today PALCUS is proud to announce that Maria Araujo Kahn, currently Justice of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, has been nominated by President Joseph Biden to the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, based in New York City. The Second Circuit Federal Court of Appeals is regarded as the most prestigious court in the United States apart from the US Supreme Court.

Please see the following article: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/07/29/president-biden-names-twenty-fourth-round-of-judicial-nominees/

Justice Kahn has historically been a supportive member of PALCUS and also serves on our Advisory Council so this news is very exciting for us as well as the national Portuguese-American community that we represent.

The Portuguese-American people have come a long way since the days of sail boat and later jet-engine powered immigration. Some came to work on fishing boats and many in factories. The nomination of Justice Maria Araujo Kahn is indicative of our community's remarkable success as we continue to “come of age” within American society while also maintaining our cultural heritage.

PALCUS congratulates Justice Kahn on this prestigious nomination and looks forward to her eventual appointment.
