President Obama nominated two UI alumni to be U.S. attorneys in Iowa on Sept. 25.

Nicholas Klinefeldt, who graduated from the UI College of Law in 2000, is the nominee for the Southern District of Iowa.

Stephanie Rose, who graduated in 1996, is nominated for the Northern District. Both also received their undergraduate degrees from the UI.

Klinefeldt practices both civil and criminal litigation at Des Moines-based Ahlers & Cooney, PC, where he has worked since 2006. Prior to joining the firm he worked for a Boston-based firm and clerked for district court and appeals court judges.

Rose is an assistant U.S. attorney in the Northern District, where she has received numerous awards from the Department of Justice.
