(Re-Broadcast) Her Honor, Our Guest: Judge Melissa DuBose ’90

Providence College Podcast

As Black History Month draws to a close, revisit our conversation with Judge Melissa DuBose ’90, a product of Providence in every sense.

She grew up in the Mount Hope section of Providence, R.I., before attending Providence College. She taught history in Providence Public Schools before turning to a career in law. She is an associate judge on the Rhode Island District Court, a member of Board of Directors of the Rhode Island Foundation, and a National Alumni Association award recipient. In this episode, DuBose weighs in on important questions like representation in the judiciary, the characteristics of a good judge, and the performance of the Friars men’s basketball team.

Please note: This episode was recorded before the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court. We discuss the vacancy on the court, but not Jackson specifically.
