Title: 97-Year-Old Judge Loses Lawsuit to Return to Work

A 97-year-old federal judge in the U.S. has lost a lawsuit in her attempt to return to work after being suspended by a U.S. Court of Appeals last year. However, she has not lost hope and stated that she will appeal the ruling. Federal Judge Pauline Newman was suspended after being accused of incompetence due to cognitive and physical decline associated with her age. Judge Newman challenged the suspension decision made by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which focuses on patents, trademarks, and some other matters, through a lawsuit claiming that a law enacted in 1980, known as the "Judicial Conduct and Disability Act," which outlines the process for removing judges, violates the U.S. Constitution.
