Early life and educationReeves was born in 1964 in Fort Hood, Texas,[2] and was raised in rural Yazoo City, Mississippi.[3] As a teenager, Reeves cleaned the office of Judge William Henry Barbour, Jr., whom he would later replace on the federal bench.[3] Reeves was the first person in his family to attend a four-year college,[3] and graduated in 1986 magna cum laude from Jackson State University.[4] Reeves then attended the University of Virginia School of Law, graduating in 1989 as a Ritter Scholar.[2] After law school, Reeves served as a law clerk for Justice Reuben Anderson, the first African-American judge to serve on the Supreme Court of Mississippi.[3][5] Professional careerReeves began his legal career in 1991 as a staff attorney for the Supreme Court of Mississippi; later that year, he entered private practice as an associate at the Jackson, Mississippi office of regional law firm Phelps Dunbar.[2] From 1995 to 2001, Reeves served as Chief of the Civil Division for the Office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi.[2] In 2001, Reeves returned to private practice to found his own firm, Pigott Reeves Johnson.[2] During his time in private practice, Reeves served on the boards of a number of civic organizations, including the ACLU of Mississippi, the Mississippi Center for Justice, and the Magnolia Bar Association.[2][5] Federal judicial serviceOn April 28, 2010, Reeves was nominated by President Barack Obama to fill a seat on the Southern District of Mississippi vacated by William Henry Barbour, Jr.[4] Reeves was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 19, 2010 by voice vote.[6] Reeves is the second African-American to serve on the federal judiciary in Mississippi.[3] He received his commission on December 20, 2010.[5] Notable decisionsCampaign for Southern Equality v. Bryant{{Main|Same-sex marriage in Mississippi}}On November 25, 2014, Reeves ruled in the case of Campaign for Southern Equality v. Bryant that Mississippi’s same-sex marriage ban violated the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. Reeves' opinion noted the connection between racism and homophobia, and how that connection had long operated to oppress both black and LGBT Mississippians.[7] Reeves held that, just as the state's views on race had led it to oppress blacks for generations, "Mississippi’s traditional beliefs about gay and lesbian citizens ... [took] away fundamental rights owed to every citizen. It is time to restore those rights."[8] United States v. Butler{{Main|Murder of James Craig Anderson}}On February 10, 2015, Reeves sentenced three young white men for their roles in the death of a 48-year-old black man named James Craig Anderson.[9] They were part of a group that beat Anderson and then killed him by running over his body with a truck, yelling "white power" as they drove off.[10] In handing down sentences of between 7 and 50 years in prison for the defendants, Reeves gave a widely publicized[3] speech that remarked on how the killing of Anderson fit into Mississippi's "tortured past" of lynchings and racism.[11] While noting that the defendants had "ripped off the scab of the healing scars of Mississippi," Reeves asserted that the integrated, race-neutral operation of Mississippi's modern-day justice system was "the strongest way" for the state to reject the racism of the past.[11] Barber v. Bryant{{Main|Religious Liberty Accommodations Act}}On June 30, 2016, Reeves issued a ruling that halted Mississippi's Religious Liberty Accommodations Act from going into effect.[12] The Act provided protection to entities and individuals who refused to provide marriage-related goods and services to LGBT individuals.[12] Reeves' holding noted that "[r]eligious freedom was one of the building blocks of this great nation, and after the nation was torn apart, the guarantee of equal protection under [the] law was used to stitch it back together. But [the Act] does not honor that tradition of religiou[s] freedom, nor does it respect the equal dignity of all of Mississippi's citizens. It must be enjoined."[12] Moore v. BryantOn September 8, 2016, Reeves issued a ruling dismissing a lawsuit seeking to have the Mississippi state flag, which contains the Stars and Bars emblem of the Confederacy declared unconstitutional. The basis of the dismissal is the plaintiff's failure to allege a specific injury and thus an inability to demonstrate the standing necessary to bring an action in federal court.[13] Jackson v. CurrierOn November 20, 2018, Reeves issued a written ruling in Jackson Women's Health Organization v. Currier (Mary Currier in her official capacity as the State Health Officer of the State of Mississippi).[14] The ruling struck down a Mississippi law, passed in March 2018, that outlawed most abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy.[15] Reeves had previously issued an injunction, effectively preventing the law from taking effect. His ruling included strong statements about the law, calling it "pure gaslighting" as well as an unconstitutional limitation on women's due-process rights.[16] His ruling also invalidated a similar Louisiana law, which had been written as contingent on the outcome of the Mississippi lawsuit.[16] References1. ^[https://www.mylife.com/carlton-reeves/e706819872132 MyLife.com profile] 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 Senate Judiciary Committee Questionnaire: Carlton Wayne Reeves, (April 26, 2010). 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news|title=The Man Behind The Speech: Judge Carlton Reeves Takes On Mississippi's Past|url=https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/03/02/387477815/the-man-behind-the-speech-judge-carlton-reeves-takes-on-mississippis-past|accessdate=June 29, 2016|newspaper=National Public Radio|date=March 2, 2015}} 4. ^1 President Obama Names Three to the United States District Court {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101201222711/http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/president-obama-names-three-united-states-district-court# |date=2010-12-01 }}, whitehouse.gov (April 28, 2010). 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.fjc.gov/history/judges/reeves-carlton-wayne|title=Reeves, Carlton Wayne – Federal Judicial Center|website=www.fjc.gov}} 6. ^Associated Press, Reeves confirmed as US judge for south Mississippi{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, (December 19, 2010). 7. ^{{cite news | title = Federal Judge Overturns Mississippi’s Ban On Same-Sex Marriage | author = Ack Ford | publisher = Think Progress| date = November 25, 2014 | url = http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2014/11/25/3597274/mississippi-marriage-decision/}} 8. ^{{cite court |litigants=Campaign for Southern Equality v.
