Roslynn R. Mauskopf joined Bracewell after a four-decade career in public service, including as a judge on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, as the United States Attorney for that district, and, most recently, as Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. She focuses her practice at Bracewell on government and internal investigations, regulatory enforcement and compliance, corporate governance, white-collar litigation, arbitrations and corporate monitorships, and providing advice and counsel to companies, boards of directors and corporate executives on sensitive matters involving reputational risk.

As Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts from February 1, 2021, through January 31, 2024, Judge Mauskopf served as the chief administrative officer of the federal courts. In announcing Judge Mauskopf’s retirement as Director and from the federal judiciary, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. praised her for bringing “superb judgment to bear in addressing a broad range of issues,” including guiding the judiciary through the COVID-19 pandemic, implementing workplace conduct and ethics reforms, strengthening the courts’ cybersecurity defenses, and serving as secretary to the Judicial Conference of the United States, the principal policy-making body for the federal court system, and as a board member of the Federal Judicial Center. She also served as the Judicial Branch’s congressional liaison, working with congressional committees to advance the legislative interests of the Third Branch and to secure the Judiciary’s annual appropriation and execute the Judiciary’s budget.
