Nominated to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
Amir Ali’s impressive experience in pursuit of equal justice makes him extremely well qualified to serve on the federal bench. Much of his extensive legal career has been dedicated to protecting the rights of people involved in the criminal-legal system, including successfully representing a client who had been wrongfully convicted of murder. He has also held law enforcement accountable for wrongdoing by successfully challenging overbroad applications of qualified immunity for police officers who used excessive force. If confirmed, Mr. Ali would be the first Arab American judge and the first Muslim judge to serve a lifetime appointment on this court.
