New 9th Cir. Judge Confirmed!
Perkins Coie’ appellate chair Eric Miller won approval Tuesday to a Seattle-based seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Miller was approved by the U.S. Senate, 53-46, to fill a seat left by Judge Richard Tallman, a Clinton appointee who took senior status in March 2018. Miller is the first appeals court nominee to be confirmed without the “blue slip” consent of either of the two home state senators. ...
Miller ascends to the court after a lengthy career as an appellate lawyer. He currently heads Perkins Coie’s appellate practice, focusing his work on Supreme Court and appellate litigation. Before that, Miller was an assistant in the U.S. Solicitor General’s office from 2007 to 2012.\
