| Judge Laura Taylor Swain |
As a federal court judge, Laura Taylor Swain has played a role in two of the highest-profile financial criminal cases of the past decade. Now she will preside over one of the biggest local government financial failure cases ever filed.

Judge Swain has handled prominent cases in recent years. She was the presiding judge who accepted the guilty plea of SAC Capital Advisors, the giant group of hedge funds that the billionaire investor Steven A. Cohen led. And she presided over the lengthy criminal trial of several former employees of Bernard Madoff, who ran a huge Ponzi scheme.
