The Honorable Kiyo A. Matsumoto is a district judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Judge Matsumoto’s distinguished career includes serving as Chief of the Civil Division at the United States Attorney’s Office and teaching at Brooklyn Law School and NYU School of Law. Judge Matsumoto is the second Asian American woman to serve as a federal district court judge and the third Asian American to serve as a district court judge outside of California and Hawaii.

The Korematsu Lecture series was started in 2000 by a group of NYU law students who wished to create a lecture series in honor of Japanese internment challenger Fred Korematsu. The lecture provides a forum to address Asian American perspectives on law and to honor Asian Americans who have added substantially to the development of the law while challenging the status quo.
