Statement from Governor Murphy on President Biden’s Nomination of Adeel Mangi to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
“President Biden’s decision to nominate Adeel Mangi to a New Jersey-based seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is an outstanding choice. Adeel is well-respected throughout the legal community for his extensive experience as a litigator, including a number of high-profile civil rights cases defending marginalized communities. I also want to note the historic nature of this nomination, as, upon confirmation, Adeel will become the first Muslim-American to serve on a federal circuit court of appeals in U.S. history. I am grateful to President Biden and our U.S. Senators for their unwavering commitment to fill our federal court vacancies with exceptional attorneys who reflect the rich diversity of our state.”
