The First Fifteen: How Asian American Women Became Federal Judges<\/em><\/strong> is the name of the book written by Judge Mollway. Judge Mollway was the first Asian American woman to receive a lifetime appointment in 1998 as a federal judge. The book chronicles the stories of Asian American women who were appointed as federal judges after her. The idea for the book grew out of Judge Mollway\u2019s thesis for her Master of Law studies at Duke University. She said the topic for her thesis had to be something that would hold her interest and spur her to complete the project, especially since the writing was done in the evenings after working at her “day job.”  Since the chosen topic involved herself and others that she knew, she was confident it was the path to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
