Munger Tolles & Olson partner Michelle Friedland was confirmed Monday for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, giving the court a full slate of 29 judges for the first time since 2007.
The Senate returned from a two-week break and voted, 51-40, for Friedland, who had become the new center of attention earlier this month in the fight over judicial nominations. Friedland narrowly received the majority of votes she needed for confirmation. Friedland faced opposition in part for her advocacy on behalf of gay rights groups.
