Jude Philip Calabrese (born 1971) is an American jurist who serves as a district judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. He formerly served as a judge of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas from 2019 to 2020.

Early life and education

Calabrese was born in 1971 in Evanston, Illinois.[2] He obtained a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, from the College of the Holy Cross in 1993. After graduating, he earned a Fulbright scholarship to study ancient history at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens from 1993 to 1994.[3] In 1997, Calabrese enrolled at Harvard Law School, graduating with a Juris Doctor, cum laude, in 2000.[4][5]

After finishing law school, Calabrese served as a law clerk to Judge Alice M. Batchelder of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He was a partner with Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur, where he co-chaired the firm's class action practice.[4] Since fall 2017, he has served as an adjunct professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law.[5][4]

He has been a member of the City Club of Cleveland since 2001 and of the Federalist Society since 2005.[2]

State court service

On June 21, 2019, Governor Mike Dewine appointed Calabrese as a judge of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas to fill the vacancy left by Judge Pamela Barker's appointment to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.[6][7] He was sworn into office on July 3, 2019.[8] His state court service ended in 2020 after he became a federal judge.

Federal judicial service

On February 26, 2020, President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Calabrese to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.[4] On March 3, 2020, his nomination was sent to the Senate. President Trump nominated Calabrese to the seat vacated by Judge Christopher A. Boyko, who assumed senior status on January 6, 2020.[9] As Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman relied on the recommendations of a bipartisan commission, Calabrese received the support of both Democrats and Republicans in Ohio.[7]

On July 29, 2020, a hearing was held on his nomination before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[10] On September 17, 2020, his nomination was reported out of committee by a 12–10 vote.[11] On December 1, 2020, the United States Senate invoked cloture on his nomination by a 58–35 vote.[12] His nomination was confirmed later that day by a 58–35 vote.[13] He received his judicial commission on December 3, 2020.[14] He was sworn in on December 5, 2020.[15]
