About Ada E. Brown

Ada Elene Brown is an American lawyer and jurist serving as a United States district judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. She was appointed in 2019 by President Donald Trump. She is a former trial judge of the Dallas County courts and a former Justice of the Fifth Court of Appeals of Texas. She was the first Native American and African-American woman federal judge nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate. Since October 2026, Brown has been temporarily suspended from deciding cases based on a formal finding that she likely suffers a "mental condition that interferes with her ability to perform the responsibilities of her office."
