| Info | Danny Julian Boggs (born October 23, 1944 in Havana, Cuba) is the Chief Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He was appointed to a newly-created seat on that court on January 29, 1986 by President Ronald Reagan, confirmed by the U.S. Senate on March 3, and received his commission on March 25. He became the Chief Judge of the Sixth Circuit in 2003.
His name has recently been mentioned among potential Bush administration nominees to the Supreme Court of the United States. Judge Boggs sparked controversy in 2001 by accusing then-Chief Judge Boyce Martin of violating Sixth Circuit procedural rules by assigning himself to panels and manipulating the timing of an order. Judge Boggs recused himself from the subsequent panel inquiry, which found a rule violation, but recommended no action.
He has gained some notoriety by giving an arcane general knowledge quiz to clerkship applicants. The quiz strongly emphasizes history, literature, and classics, but also contains questions asking for the takers' opinions. Judge Boggs says he uses the answers to gain insight into potential clerks' interests and personalities. Three of his former clerks appeared on the ABC game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? at the peak of the show's popularity in 2001, and two of them used him as their "phone-a-friend."[1]
