Reception for U.S. District Judge Troy Nunley

King Hall hosted a reception for recently confirmed United States Eastern District Court Judge Troy L. Nunley on August 29, 2013. Despite the seasonable weather, the reception was well-attended by members of the local state and federal judiciary, members of the Bar, King Hall alumni, King Hall faculty, and many interested King Hall students. Judge Nunley was pleased for the recognition by King Hall and mentioned he looks forward to considering King Hall students for clerkships. In the summer of 2013, Judge Nunley offered summer externships to three King Hall 1L's. This fall semester, Rebecca Freed, a King Hall 3L, is serving as an extern with Judge Nunley.

Judge Nunley has a remarkable personal story, which the San Francisco Chronicle described as “rags to robes.” You can read the article here: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Federal-judge-nominee-Troy-Nunley-works-his-way-up-3692208.php.

Many thanks to Judge Nunley for his support of UC Davis School of Law and its students! We will see you back at King Hall for the Swearing-In Ceremony in December!
