Biography

The Hon. Milton C. Lee, Jr. is an associate judge for the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. He was nominated to the bench by President Barack Obama in 2010 to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Jerry Stewart Byrd.

He is credited with spearheading the development of the Fathering Court and the Teen Court Diversion Program in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Lee began his judicial career as a magistrate for the Superior Court in 1998. During that time, he held assignments in the Criminal and Civil Divisions as well as the Family Court and was presiding magistrate judge (2006 to 2010).

Prior to joining the bench, he worked in both the public and academic sectors. Lee was a trial attorney with the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, a visiting professor of law in the Criminal Justice Clinic at Georgetown Law School, and a faculty member in the Juvenile Law Clinic at the former District of Columbia School of Law.

Lee continued to teach as an adjunct faculty member in the law school community and has taught in the Harvard Trial Advocacy Program for several years and served as a contributor to the Criminal Practice Institute. His subjects have included Evidence, Criminal Law and Procedure, Advanced Criminal Procedure, Trial Advocacy, and Wills and Estates.

He received a B.A. from the American University School of Justice in 1982. Lee then completed a J.D. at the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law.

He was born and raised in the District of Columbia.
