Janice Rogers Brown
Janice Rogers Brown (born May 11, 1949) is an American jurist. She served as a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2006 to 2017 and before that, Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court from 1996 to 2006. She is a member of the Federalist Society and frequently features at events hosted by the organization.
Her 2003 nomination by George W. Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was opposed by civil rights groups and stalled for nearly two years by Democratic senators who saw her as an extreme "conservative judicial activist.” She was eventually re-nominated and confirmed in 2006. The following month, after Justice Sandra Day O'Connor retired from the Supreme Court of the United States, Brown was reportedly considered as a potential nominee to replace O'Connor. Brown was ultimately not nominated to the Supreme Court.
Brown was born Janice Olivia Allen in Greenville, Alabama, in 1949. Her father was a World War II veteran who sharecropped a leased 158-acre plot before reenlisting. After her parents separated, she was raised primarily by her paternal grandmother until, as a teenager, she moved to Sacramento, California, with her mother who was a nurse. When her mother remarried, she took the name Rogers.
Brown earned a B.A. from California State University, Sacramento, in 1974 while working as a single mother at the Department of Corrections where she met her first husband, Allen E. Brown Sr., who was an administrator there. She earned a J.D. from UCLA in 1977. She received a Master of Laws degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 2004.
Brown has said that during her childhood her family refused to enter race-segregated businesses and that she as a "young single mother once called herself so leftist as to be almost Maoist."
For the first two decades of her career, Brown primarily worked for government agencies.
From 1977 to 1979, she was Deputy Legislative Counsel for the California Legislative Counsel.[citation needed]
From 1979 to 1987, she served as California Deputy Attorney General for the Criminal and Civil Divisions.[citation needed]
