Honorable Michael E. Romero was appointed to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado in 2003, and was appointed as Chief Judge of that Court in 2014. He also has served on the Tenth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel since 2010. Judge Romero received an undergraduate degree in economics and political science from Denver University in 1977 and his juris doctor degree from the University of Michigan in 1980. Since becoming a judge, he has served on numerous committees and advisory groups for the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, is the past chair of the Bankruptcy Judges Advisory Group, and recently concluded his term as the sole Bankruptcy Court representative/observer to the Judicial Conference of the United States. He recently served on the Board of Governors of the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges and actively participates in several committees of that body. Judge Romero also serves on the Executive Board of Our Courts, a joint activity between the Colorado Judicial Institute and the Colorado Bar Association which provides programs to further public understanding of the federal and state court systems. He is a member of the Colorado Bar Association, the American Bankruptcy Institute, the Historical Society of the Tenth Circuit and the Colorado Hispanic Bar Association. In what little spare time he has, Judge Romero can be been seen participating in musical theater productions throughout Colorado.
