                       Wednesday, January 3, 2024

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the 95th birthday 
of Jack Middleton, an attorney and senior member of McLane Middleton's 
Litigation Department. A dedicated member of the New Hampshire legal 
community, Jack's storied career and his dedication to his colleagues 
has inspired countless individuals.
  Born and raised outside of Philadelphia, Jack attended Lafayette 
College before earning his law degree at Boston University. Camping in 
the New Hampshire mountains as a child and working for the Appalachian 
Mountain Club as a young adult solidified his love for the Granite 
State. In 1956, Jack joined McLane Middleton, then just a firm of ten 
lawyers that today boasts approximately one hundred. Jack's keen 
interest in civil litigation allowed him to form long-lasting bonds 
with lawyers from around New England that carried him throughout his 
career.
  Throughout his more than sixty years in the legal profession, Jack 
has remained committed to public service and the pursuit of justice. A 
certified trial specialist for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy 
and a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, Jack served on 
the National Center for State's Courts Lawyer's Committee and as a New 
Hampshire District Court Judge. Jack has consistently displayed a level 
of professionalism and altruism throughout his career and has served as 
an inspiration to the Granite State legal community.
  On behalf of the constituents of New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I wish Jack a very happy 95th birthday and commend him for 
his lifetime of hard work and dedication to our community. I hope he 
has a wonderful birthday and year.
