Arthur Donald Spatt

Arthur Donald Spatt (b. 1925, Brooklyn, NY) is a federal judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Judge Spatt received a LL.B. from Brooklyn Law School in 1949. He was nominated to the court by George H.W. Bush on October 25, 1989, to a seat vacated by Henry Bramwell, confirmed by the Senate on November 21, 1989, and received his commission on November 27, 1989. He assumed senior status on December 1, 2004.

Spatt penned the ruling in the Mahender and Varsha Sabhnani slavery federal criminal trial. He awarded rare double damages to Indonesian maids - Samirah, $ 620,744, and Enung, $ 315,802. The judgment's award of double damages in federal criminal trials is notable, since the punitive sums are only, ordinarily granted in civil cases. .
