President Obama has nominated Judge Evan Jonathan Wallach ’76 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and Miranda Du to the U.S. District Court of Nevada. Wallach is a judge on the U.S. Court of International Trade. He has served as general counsel and public policy advisor to Nevada Senator Harry Reid and attorney-advisor to the Nevada Army National Guard. Wallach served in the Vietnam War from 1970-71 and received a Bronze Star Medal. Du, a partner at McDonald Carano Wilson in Reno, specializes in complex civil litigation and employment law. A refugee of Vietnam who came to the U.S. at age nine, she would be the first Asian Pacific American federal judge in Nevada history, if confirmed.
