Biography
Katsas was born in 1964 in Boston to Greek immigrant parents.[3] He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Princeton University and his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School, where he was an executive editor of the Harvard Law Review.[4][5]
Early in his career, he served as a law clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, both at the District of Columbia Circuit and the United States Supreme Court, and to Judge Edward Roy Becker of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.[6][5] From 2001 to 2009, he served in many senior positions in the United States Department of Justice, including Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division and Acting Associate Attorney General.[5]
Prior to joining the White House Counsel’s Office, he was a partner at Jones Day, where he specialized in civil and appellate litigation.[7] He has argued more than 75 appeals, including cases in the U.S. Supreme Court and every federal appellate court.[5]
Nomination to court of appeals
On September 7, 2017, President Trump nominated Katsas to serve as a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to the seat vacated by Judge Janice Rogers Brown, who retired on August 31, 2017.[8][9] On October 17, 2017 a hearing on his nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[10] On November 9, 2017 his nomination was reported out of committee by a 11-9 roll call vote. His nomination is currently pending before United States Senate.[11][12] On November 27, 2017 the United States Senate voted to invoke cloture by a vote of 52-48.[13]
