United States, Judge May 25, 1965
Jacqueline Hong-Ngoc Nguyen is a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
When I first took the bench, I was assigned to handle a calendar of criminal cases. It was an enormous docket. I tried in each case to make sure that the litigants not only in fact received, but also felt that they had received, a full and fair opportunity to be heard.
I had been active in various bar associations ever since I was a law student, and I think that also helped because it made me more of a known quantity.
I was appointed by Governor Gray Davis to the Los Angeles Superior Court and by President Obama to the district court and then the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In securing the state court appointment, I think it really helped that I had some trial experience.
