Posted on: Wednesday, 10 May 2006, 15:03 CDT
U.S. aerospace giant Boeing Co. has hired Judge J. Michael Luttig of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit as its top lawyer.
Luttig, one of the nation's most prominent conservative jurists, replaces Douglas G. Bain, Boeing senior vice president and general counsel, who announced his plans to retire effective July 1, after 24 years with the company, Boeing said Wednesday.
Luttig, 51, will report directly to Boeing's chief executive, W. James McNerney Jr., and be a member of the company's executive council.
A 1991 appointee of President George H.W. Bush, Luttig was at that time the nation's youngest federal appeals court judge. Prior to his appointment to the federal bench, he served as assistant attorney general of the United States and counselor to the attorney general at the Department of Justice in Washington during the Reagan administration.
He clerked for former Chief Justice of the United States Warren Burger and for Justice Antonin Scalia.
Luttig was born on June 13, 1954, in Tyler, Texas. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1976 from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., and a law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law.
