A Williams & Connolly litigation partner was confirmed Tuesday to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, where she'll become one of the youngest federal appeals judges appointed by President Donald Trump.
Allison Jones Rushing, who clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas from 2010-2011, was confirmed in a vote of 53-44 to a seat on the Richmond, Virginia-based Fourth Circuit. The North Carolina native was a 2007 graduate of Duke University School of Law. Rushing succeeds Allyson Duncan of North Carolina, who was the Fourth Circuit's first African-American female judge.
Rushing became a partner in 2017 at Williams & Connolly, where her practice primarily focuses on appellate matters. She said in a Senate questionnaire that she has filed more than 45 briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court. Rushing earned more than $650,000 in partner compensation in 2017, according to a financial disclosure she filed as part of the nomination process.
