Federal judge [Neil Gorsuch](http://time.com/4653790/donald-trump-neil-gorsuch-supreme-court/) will face confirmation hearings in the Senate this week.

A judge in Colorado on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, Gorsuch was nominated by President Trump to fill the seat left empty by the [death of Justice Antonin Scalia](http://time.com/4224440/antonin-scalia-heart-attack/).

President Obama had previously nominated [Judge Merrick Garland](http://time.com/4266396/supreme-court-merrick-garland-nomination-history/), an appeals court judge on the District of Columbia Circuit, for that opening, but Senate Republicans refused to hold confirmation hearings for him.

Gorsuch has received support from his classmates at [Columbia](http://time.com/4694153/neil-gorsuch-columbia-classmates-supreme-court/) and [Harvard Law School](http://time.com/4697246/neil-gorsuch-norm-eisen-letter/), while Democrats have tried to [highlight the human side](http://time.com/4702354/neil-gorsuch-chuck-schumer-decisions/) of his past decisions. He’s also said that he found Trump’s attacks on other judges [“demoralizing.”](http://time.com/4664730/donald-trump-neil-gorsuch-tweet-judge-demoralizing/)

Here’s a look at Gorsuch’s life in photographs. Michelle Molloy, who edited this photo essay, is a senior photo editor at TIME.
