A long-serving judge in the Fifth Circuit Court Of Appeals, Benjamin has been nominated to serve in one of the highly esteemed Courts of the land, the Fourth Circuit Court located in Richmond, Virginia. 

The Fourth Circuit Court is among the thirteen appellate courts of the land. With a stand just a step under the Supreme Court. 

Fifteen Judges can be elected from the states of Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina. Judge Quattlebaum and Richardson are set to be joined by Judge Benjamin, the third Judge from South Carolina. 

Benjamin is the second judge of African-American origin nominated to a federal court of appeals. This is a result of Biden’s efforts to bring diversity into the justice system.

I’m pleased @POTUS plans to nominate South Carolina’s DeAndrea Benjamin to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

She is a well-regarded state court jurist. Judge Benjamin would make a tremendous addition to the Fourth Circuit.https://t.co/2VTv1xgvUA
