                 Nomination of Jacqueline Scott Corley

  Mr. President, finally, Judge Jacqueline Corley is nominated to serve 
for the Northern District of California.
  She is a native of Long Beach. She earned her bachelor's degree from 
UC Berkeley and her J.D. from Harvard Law School.
  Judge Corley's nontraditional path to the bench displays her 
commitment to public service. After spending some time in private 
practice, she spent more than 10 years as a career law clerk for the 
Northern District of California. Based on her outstanding work in that 
role and the expertise that she built in private practice prior, Judge 
Corley was selected to serve as a magistrate judge for the Northern 
District. She has served there for the past decade and is known for her 
mentorship of current law clerks.
  I celebrate each of these highly qualified nominees who will help 
Californians access justice throughout our State. When people enter a 
Federal court, they should feel confident in the promise of equal 
justice--equal justice that I know these three nominees will help 
deliver. The oversight and judgment of a thoughtful and fair judge is 
paramount.

  Our democracy depends on the public's faith in the judiciary. That is 
why I am committed to building a bench of judges who will better 
reflect and understand the districts, the States, and the country that 
they serve. I am proud to take another step toward that goal by 
supporting the confirmations of these three judges, and I urge all of 
our colleagues to do the same.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Georgia.
