President Joe Biden has appointed Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong for a position at the Central District Court in California.
He also appointed two more judges to district-level positions by filling three of the 18 vacancies in California that are now considered “judicial emergencies,” or vacancies that augment the work of other judges.
Wednesday’s announcement, which included the candidates of three new Latinos for the bench, among others, is seen as another step for the president towards strengthening diversity in the federal justice system, according to Reuters.
Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, an American born to Ghanaian parents, was appointed judge in 2016.
She was Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
In this role, she was responsible for MCC and a key member of the MCC leadership team, as well as the CEO’s primary authority on legal and ethical aspects of MCC programs and operations.
Prior to joining MCC, Maame held several senior positions in the US Department of Justice.
She graduated from Yale Law School in 2001 and received her undergraduate degree in History and Science in 1997 from Harvard University.
