Ellen Segal Huvelle (born 1948) is a federal judge sitting in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. She has overseen several significant cases. In a case decided in May 2001, Huvelle "upheld federal regulations that restrict the sale of consumers' names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses and phone numbers." Later that year, Huvelle heard requests by family members of Vince Foster seeking access to pictures of his body taken after his death. In November 2005, she accepted the guilty plea in the high-profile prosecution of lobbyist Michael Scanlon. Judge Huvelle assumed senior status on June 3, 2014.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Huvelle received a B.A. from Wellesley College in 1970, a Masters in City Planning from the Yale School of Architecture in 1972, and a J.D. from the Boston College Law School in 1975. Following law school, she served as law clerk to Chief Justice Edward F. Hennessey of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court from 1975 to 1976. From 1976 until 1984, Judge Huvelle was an associate at the firm of Williams & Connolly in Washington, D.C. and in 1984, she became a partner at that firm, where she remained until 1990.
