The Senate confirmed two new D.C. Superior Court associate judges, helping fill 13-judicial vacancies which court officials say resulted in cases being delayed nearly a year.
The U.S. Senate this week approved two new associate judges to join the depleted ranks of the D.C. Superior Court bench, trimming persistent vacancies that court data show bog down cases and can delay justice for victims.
This week’s appointees are Judith E. Pipe, a former D.C. public defender who was named a D.C. Superior Court magistrate judge in 2020, and Tanya M. Jones Bosier, who President Biden nominated to the post in March 2023. Biden nominated Pipe in June 2023. As a former defense attorney, Pipe often specialized in homicide cases. Among her high-profile assignments was the 2013 case of a Catholic woman studying to become a nun who was charged with killing her newborn son in Northeast Washington, near Catholic University.
