Two Jurists from Baden-Württemberg Appointed to Federal Courts
Two legal experts from Baden-Württemberg have been appointed to Germany’s highest federal courts. Dr. Anna Nusser and Dr. Alexander Kees were selected by a national committee in Berlin on 18 December 2025. Their appointments follow a secret ballot and majority vote by the Judicial Selection Committee.
The committee, made up of the 16 state justice ministers and 16 Bundestag-elected members, oversees appointments to five federal courts. These include the Federal Court of Justice, Federal Administrative Court, Federal Fiscal Court, Federal Labour Court, and Federal Social Court.
Dr. Anna Nusser currently serves as Vice President of the Karlsruhe Social Court. She studied law at the University of Trier and later at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. Her new role will be at the Federal Social Court. Dr. Alexander Kees leads a division at the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Justice and Migration. He studied law at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen and also earned a *Maîtrise en droit international et européen* in Aix-en-Provence. His appointment places him at the Federal Administrative Court. Marion Gentges, Baden-Württemberg’s Minister of Justice and Migration, publicly congratulated both appointees on their new positions.
The exact start date for Nusser and Kees in their federal roles has not yet been confirmed. Their appointments mark a shift from regional legal work to national judicial responsibilities. The selection process reflects the committee’s broad authority over Germany’s highest courts.
