Barbara Lagoa is a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and reportedly one of two leading contenders for President Trump's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court to fill the vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Judge Lagoa wrote hundreds of decisions as a Florida appellate judge, as appointed to that position by then-Governor Jeb Bush.
Prior to becoming a judge, Lagoa served as pro bono counsel in 2000 to the lawful effort to prevent the return of young Elián González back to communist Cuba. However, some conservatives fear she may be moderate on a few issues, namely abortion.[1]
