June 10, 2022

Greetings, Wiggin Alumni!

Wiggin alumni have long been tapped for important positions in public service. It’s good to know that’s still happening today.

Former Wiggin law clerk and associate (2000-03) Rob Huie was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on June 9, 2022 as a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

Rob came to Wiggin after earning his degree from Yale Law School and he worked at Wiggin until he left to clerk with Judge José A. Cabranes on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He later had a distinguished career as a federal prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego, serving from 2008 to 2020. He prosecuted a wide array of bribery, money laundering, and fraud cases, including participating in the trial of “Fat Leonard” for his role in a Navy bribery case. Since 2020, Rob has been back in private practice at Jones Day. Huie’s wife, Michele Huie, also worked at Wiggin (2001-04), as the firm’s first-ever marketing director.

Congratulations to Rob!
