                  HONORING JUDGE KAY SPAULDING ROBILIO

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, today I wanted to take time to honor one 
of Tennessee's most accomplished Memphians, Judge Kay Spaulding Robilio 
of the U.S. Circuit Court, Division 5, 30th Judicial District.
  For more than 20 years of dedicated service as a judge and the 2002-
2003 president of the Tennessee Lawyers' Association for Women, Judge 
Robilio has committed her life to the pursuit of justice and equality 
for all. She has helped open the way for women interested in serving on 
the bench and in public office. And as a mother and volunteer, her 
dedication to the community extends beyond her profession. Her 
dedication to exploring legal issues surrounding emotional abuse claims 
is helping expand recognition of the problem and establishes her as a 
true pioneer.
  Judge Robilio is an asset to Memphis and a shining light in our legal 
community. I want to thank Kay for her decades of service and let her 
know we look forward to many more years of legal excellence and 
integrity from her court.
