Keli M. Neary, Executive Deputy Attorney General for the Civil Law division of the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, has been nominated by President Joe Biden to the federal district court.
Neary has been nominated for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
In an announcement from the White House, her choice continues “to fulfill the President’s promise to ensure that the nation’s courts reflect the diversity that is one of our greatest assets as a country – both in terms of personal and professional backgrounds.”
Neary oversees the work of more than 120 attorneys and support staff in the Civil Law Division’s eight sections, all committed to defending the constitutionality of state statutes, representing Commonwealth agencies and employees in civil actions, collecting delinquent taxes and other debts owed to the Commonwealth, and reviewing state contracts and regulations for legality.
She previously served as a Deputy, Senior Deputy, and then Chief Deputy Attorney General in the Civil Law Division between 2012 and 2019. Neary was an Assistant Counsel in the Pennsylvania State Police’s Office of Chief Counsel from 2007-12 and served as a law clerk for Judges C. Joseph Rehkamp, Kathy Morrow, and Keith B. Quigley on the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas from 2006-07.
Neary is a 2003 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and received her J.D. from Widener University Commonwealth Law School in 2006.
“Keli Neary’s professional journey is one of resilience and integrity, and her extensive law career has prepared her to level up to the federal bench,” said Sen. John Fetterman. “Her work in the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, where she led the Civil Law Division, has been marked by a tireless defense of the Constitution and the rights of Pennsylvanians. I am confident she will serve the people of Pennsylvania with distinction.”
“Keli Neary’s extensive experience serving our Commonwealth make her well-qualified to serve the Middle District of Pennsylvania as a district court judge,” said Sen. Bob Casey Jr.. “From her years of experience at the Pennsylvania State Police to her years in the Office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General – including her current role as Chief of the Civil Law Division for Pennsylvania’s Office of the Attorney General – Keli has served a vital role in keeping Pennsylvania communities safe and fighting for equal justice for all. I look forward to her swift confirmation by the Senate.”
This is President Biden’s fifty-third round of nominees for federal judicial positions, bringing the number of announced federal judicial nominees to 254.
