A Davenport attorney has been nominated by President Joe Biden to be United States Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa.
David C. Waterman has been an attorney at the law firm of Lane & Waterman L.L.P., in Davenport, since 2020. He was previously an Assistant United States Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida from 2016 to 2020.
“I am honored by the President’s nomination to be the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa. I look forward to the confirmation process,” Waterman said in a Wednesday email.
A Wednesday announcement from The White House said that all the U.S. Attorney nominees are “extraordinarily qualified, experienced, and devoted to the rule of law and our Constitution.”
“These choices also continue 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,” the announcement said.
This will be President Biden’s 46th round of nominees for federal judicial positions, bringing the number of announced federal judicial nominees to 224.
David Waterman served as a law clerk for Judge Michael J. Melloy on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit from 2015 to 2016, for Judge Mark W. Bennett on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa from 2014 to 2015, and for Judge John A. Jarvey on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa from 2013 to 2014.
Waterman received his J.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law in 2013; his M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge in 2010; and his B.A., summa cum laude, from The George Washington University in 2009.
