Virginia A. Phillips is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on February 14, 1957 in Orange, United States. Virginia A. Phillips (born February 14, 1957) is the Chief United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

On September 9, 2010, Phillips ruled that the United States Department of Defense’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy is unconstitutional in the case Log Cabin Republicans v. United States of America. On October 12, Phillips issued a permanent worldwide injunction ordering the military to immediately “suspend and discontinue any investigation, or discharge, separation, or other proceeding, that may have been commenced” under “don’t ask, don’t tell”. The Ninth Circuit stayed the injunction pending appeal but on July 6, 2011, lifted the stay.
