U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters on Wednesday applauded President Biden’s nomination of Susan DeClercq to serve as a United States District Court judge in the Eastern District of Michigan. DeClercq has previously served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Michigan and as chief of the Civil Rights Unit in the Detroit U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“President Biden made the right choice—Susan DeClercq is an outstanding candidate to serve as the U.S. District Court judge in the Eastern District of Michigan. Her time in the U.S. Attorney’s office and in other roles in Michigan have demonstrated her thoughtfulness and intellect. I know she will continue this work, and I look forward to moving her nomination through the Senate confirmation process,” said Stabenow.
“Susan DeClercq is an accomplished legal professional who has the experience, qualifications, and temperament to serve on the federal bench,” said Peters. “Her extensive record of public service – including work on civil rights issues – and dedication to the rule of law would benefit our state and nation. She would be Michigan’s first federal judge of East Asian descent, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to move her historic nomination through the Senate.”
DeClercq has been director and counsel of Special Investigations at Ford Motor Company in Dearborn since 2022. She previously served as an assistant U.S attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2004 to 2022, where she had several leadership roles, including serving as chief of the Civil Division. DeClercq worked for Skadden, Arps, Slate, and Meagher & Flom in Washington, D.C. as a litigation associate from 2001 to 2004. From 1999 to 2001, she served as a law clerk for U.S. District Court Judge Avern Cohn, Eastern District of Michigan.
DeClercq received her law degree from Wayne State University School of Law in 1999 and her B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1995.
