Our friend and colleague Myong Joun was confirmed as a Massachusetts federal judge

Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Myong Joun as the newest federal judge in the US District Court in Massachusetts. Howard first met Myong in 1997, when Myong worked as a paralegal for the Law Offices of Howard Friedman while he also attended law school. After Myong became a lawyer, he worked with Howard handling police misconduct and civil rights cases. Eventually, Myong opened his own criminal defense and civil rights practice. Myong earned the respect of clients, opposing lawyers, witnesses, and judges through his honesty, calm demeanor, and dependable nature.

In 2014, Myong became a judge in Massachusetts District Court. He continued to impress people with his hard work, respect for all people, orderly courtroom, and intelligent legal analyses. Myong’s experience representing private clients in criminal defense and civil rights cases make him an excellent judge. The people of Massachusetts are lucky to now have Judge Joun on the federal bench.
