Beverly Hills Lawyer Nominated for Federal District Judgeship
President Clinton has nominated lawyer Christina A. Snyder of Beverly Hills to a federal district judgeship in Los Angeles.
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) recommended Snyder, 48, to Clinton for the position in January. A Los Angeles native, Snyder is a graduate of Pomona College and Stanford Law School.
She has been in private practice in Los Angeles since 1972, specializing in antitrust and securities litigation, and is a partner at Corinblit & Seltzer, a mid-Wilshire firm.
“It is a great honor and I’m deeply grateful to the president and Sen. Feinstein for their confidence and support,” Snyder said.
She said that about 70% of her practice has been in federal court. She is a member of the American Law Institute, a national organization of 2,500 attorneys, judges and law professors.
The timetable on her confirmation is unclear because the confirmation process normally slows considerably as a presidential election nears.
