Federal Judge To Speak At Nicholls Commencement

THIBODAUX, La. (AP) — A federal judge will be the keynote speaker when Nicholls State University holds graduation ceremonies on Dec. 15.

U.S. District Court Judge Jane Triche Milazzo is a 1977 graduate of Nicholls. The Courier reports that she later became the first woman elected to Louisiana's 23rd Judicial District Court.

She received Senate confirmation as a judge for the New Orleans-based Eastern District of the federal court system in Louisiana in 2011.
