“I have known Judge Carbon for nearly two decades, and have long admired her exemplary career in public service and her dedication to defending the rights of women and children,” Shaheen said in a statement. “Judge Carbon was the driving force behind many of New Hampshire’s efforts to strengthen domestic legal protections for women, and I’m so happy she will now lead the charge on this important issue nationwide.”
Carbon, first appointed to the bench in 1991, has been a supervisory Judge of the New Hampshire Judicial Branch Family Division since 1996. She is a member of the Governor’s Commission on Domestic and Sexual Violence and, until recently, was chairwoman of New Hampshire’s Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee.
