U.S. Circuit Judge Pauline Newman of the Federal Circuit is set to appear before a panel of D.C. Circuit judges this Thursday. Judge Newman, who is 97 years old, will argue that her suspension two years ago by her colleagues was unjust. The proceedings will focus on determining the future course of action regarding her suspension and continued career on the bench.

Circuit judges involved could provide insight into the potential outcomes of Judge Newman’s challenge.
