Nan Aron (born 1948) is an American lawyer[1] and the founder and president of Alliance for Justice (AFJ), a liberal judicial advocacy group in the United States.[2][3][4] Staunchly progressive, Aron has been a noted opponent of conservative judicial nominees in the United States.[5][6] She repeatedly called for former Presidents Bill Clinton[2] and Barack Obama to be more aggressive in nominating progressives to the bench,[7] and during George W. Bush's presidency, urged the Democrat-controlled Senate to consider Bush's nominees closely.[2][8] She is considered a key player in confirmation hearings for judicial nominees,[2] and, in 2005, was called "the Madame Defarge of liberal court watchers" in the Wall Street Journal.[5][9]
