Lynn Adelman

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, 85, is a prominent figure in the legal community, having served on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin since his nomination by President Bill Clinton in 1997. Before his judicial career, Adelman spent two decades as a Democratic state senator in Wisconsin. He is known for his outspoken views on political matters, particularly regarding the U.S. Supreme Court and former President Donald Trump, which have drawn both support and criticism. His recent assignment to preside over the trial of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, who is accused of shielding an illegal immigrant from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has put him back in the news, raising concerns about potential political bias in his judicial conduct.
