Roy K. Altman is a United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida. At 36, he became the youngest federal district court judge in the country and the youngest federal judge ever appointed in the Southern District of Florida. Altman received his BA from Columbia University, where he played quarterback for the football team and pitched for the baseball team, earning All-Ivy honors. Altman received his JD from the Yale Law School, where he was projects editor of the Yale Law Journal. After law school, Altman clerked on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for the Honorable Stanley Marcus.
Altman then became a federal prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, where he twice received the Director of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys' Award for Superior Performance--a nationwide honor. In 2013, Altman was named "Federal Prosecutor of the Year" by the Miami-Dade Chiefs of Police and the Law Enforcement Officers' Charitable Foundation.
In 2014, Altman became a partner at the Miami law firm of Podhurst Orseck, where he represented the victims of bank-fraud conspiracies and international airplane crashes--including the families of passengers aboard Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared over the Indian Ocean after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.
Since the Hamas massacres in Southern Israel on October 7, 2023, Altman has led dozens of federal judges from all across the United States on the first-ever Judicial Education Missions to Israel. He's also given hundreds of speeches about Israel, antisemitism, and the rule of law at colleges, law schools, churches, synagogues, and community centers around the world.
