On December 13, 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Judge Julie Ann Robinson to the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. Judge Robinson became the first African-American to serve as a United States District Judge in Kansas. Judge Robinson is the daughter of Marvin H. Robinson, a career Army officer, and Charlene Womack Robinson, a nurse practitioner. Judge Robinson spent her childhood traveling the world with her parents, learning to appreciate diverse cultures, as well as the blessing of being born American.
Her parents stressed the importance of education and inspired and encouraged Judge Robinson to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a trial lawyer. Judge Robinson notes that lawyers and judges are life long students, excelling by continuing to learn and grow in their knowledge of humanity, environment, systems, technology and relationships. Lawyers and judges should also be mindful, that their profession is a calling to serve and minister to others in small and in significant ways.
