The Senate on Monday confirmed longtime federal public defender Veronica Rossman to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, the latest appellate judge with a federal public defender background to be seated under President Joe Biden.

Rossman was senior counsel for the federal defender’s office for Colorado and Wyoming at the time of her nomination.
