Tiffany Mae Cartwright (born 1985)[1] is the nominee to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.[2]

Early life and education

Cartwright was born in Lansing, Michigan, and grew up in Kitsap County.[3] She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Stanford University in 2007, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and a Juris Doctor from Stanford Law School in 2010, where she was a member of the Stanford Supreme Court Litigation Clinic.[4][1] She was given the Hilmer Oehlmann Jr. Prize for excellence in Legal Research and Writing in 2007 while at Stanford Law School, and was co-editor in chief of Stanford Law & Policy Review in 2009 and 2010.[1] She published an article in that journal advocating for the expansion of veterans' treatment courts.[5] During law school, Cartwright also worked at the federal public defender office in Seattle and at the United States Department of Justice Public Integrity Unit.[3] She also worked as a research assistant for Michael W. McConnell.[1]

Career

From 2010 to 2012, Cartwright served as a law clerk to Judge Dana Fabe on the Alaska Supreme Court, then for Betty Binns Fletcher on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.[6][7] From 2012 to 2014, she was an associate at Jenner & Block in Chicago.[1][8] In 2014, she joined the civil rights law firm MacDonald Hoague & Bayless, serving as partner since 2018,[9][10] where she focuses on civil rights and employment litigation, including cases on police misconduct, gender discrimination, and sexual harassment.[3]

In 2017, she represented the family of Leonard Thomas in connection with claims that he had been wrongfully killed by the Lakewood police department. Following trial, a jury sided with Thomas and awarded Thomas's family $15 million in damages.[11][12][13][14] She also represented the family of MiChance Dunlap-Gittens, who was killed by King's County police, and won a $2.25 million settlement.[3] Cartwright has also represented several exonerees, including Rodney Wheeler, who was wrongfully accused of homicide and received a $500,000 settlement from King County,[15] Paul Browning, a capital defendant, obtaining his release after 33 years on Nevada's death row, and a group of men in Fairbanks, Alaska who spent seventeen years in prison before their exoneration for murder.[3]

In 2021, Cartwright served as pro bono Washington state counsel for the Campaign Legal Center in Aguilar v. Yakima County, a case litigated under the Washington Voting Rights Act.[16]

Nomination to district court

On January 19, 2022, President Joe Biden nominated Cartwright to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.[17] The nomination came as part of the Biden Administration's larger push to nominate judges with diverse backgrounds and identities.[18][19] President Biden nominated Cartwright to the seat vacated by Judge Benjamin Hale Settle, who assumed senior status on January 1, 2020.[20] Her nomination was supported by senator Patty Murray of Washington.[21]

On May 25, 2022, a hearing on her nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[22] On June 16, 2022, her nomination was reported out of committee by a 12–10 vote.[23] Her nomination is pending before the full United States Senate. In addition to all Democrats on the committee, Cartwright received the support of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.[24] If confirmed, Cartwright would be the second-youngest federal judge in the country.[25]
