Mark Agrast and Judith Appelbaum were named deputy assistant attorneys general in the Justice Department's Office of Legislative Affairs today.
Appelbaum, who joins the department from the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, where she was the director of programs, will manage federal judicial and DOJ nominations in addition to civil and civil rights issues, the department said. Agrast, a former senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, will handle criminal and national security matters.
“Their deep policy and congressional experience will prove invaluable as we work with Congress to advance the Department of Justice’s legislative initiatives,” Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich, who heads the legislative affairs office, said in a statement.
