"Ms. Berner is a highly experienced litigator who will bring an underrepresented perspective to the bench. She’s a steadfast advocate forworkers’ rights, reproductive rights, and civil rights for all. And now, she is the first LGBTQ+ judge to serve on this court.
I congratulate Ms. Berner on becoming the forty-first Circuit Court judge confirmed under President Biden, and the latest example of Senate Democrats voting to confirm diverse, highly qualified judicial nominees that will ensure a fair system of justice for all.”
