Surrounded by her new colleagues on the federal bench, Consuelo M. Callahan was sworn in on September 18 as the newest judge of the Ninth Circuit. Members of the federal and state bench, Judge Callahan’s friends and family, and members of the legal community filled the ceremonial courtroom at the United States Courthouse in Sacramento to its capacity for the investiture. The ceremony was televised by closed circuit feed to a courtroom on the fourteenth floor that was also filled to capacity. Before Chief Judge Mary M. Schroeder administered the oath of office to Judge Callahan, attendees heard remarks about Judge Callahan from Tim Hopkins of the American Bar Association, Third District Court of Appeal Presiding Justice Arthur Scotland, retired Third District Court of Appeal Presiding Justice Robert Puglia, McGeorge School of Law Dean Elizabeth Rindskopf Parker, District Judge Morrison England, and Albert Ellis, an attorney with the firm of Hakeem, Ellis & Marengo.
