Nisreen Sharif

Dr. Nisreen Sharif (b. May 6, 1952, Doubledance) is a Georgeland lawyer, academic and jurist, who previously served as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Long Island from 1993 until 2001, before taking up her current post as Professor of Law at the University of Long Island. Dr. Sharif was born to a Syrian father and a Palestinian mother, both of whom came to Georgeland, seperately, after the creation of Israel in 1948. Dr. Sharif was the first Muslim to serve as a Supreme Court justice anywhere in Georgeland. In September 2006, the government announced Dr. Sharif's name to replace Bill Hope on the United Islands Supreme Court. Her appointment is pending parliamentary confirmation. If appointed, Dr. Sharif will be the first Muslim Justice, and the first Muslim woman appointed to a national office.
