It is with sadness we note the death of Senior U.S. District Judge Justin L. Quackenbush of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. Judge Quackenbush served the district for 44 years.
Judge Quackenbush played a key role in obtaining congressional approval for the addition of a federal judge position in the Eastern District in 1990. He presided over many high-profile cases in the district and served with distinction as chief judge of the district from 1989 to 1995, when he assumed senior status. He will be missed. Please see the district’s post for more information.
