Education and career
[edit]Born in Orsara di Puglia, Italy, Augelli received a Bachelor of Laws from New Jersey Law School (now Rutgers Law School) in 1929. He received a Master of Laws from Mercer Beasley School of Law (now Rutgers Law School) in 1934. He was in private practice of law in Jersey City, New Jersey from 1930 to 1961.[1]
Federal judicial service
[edit]Augelli was nominated by President John F. Kennedy on September 14, 1961, to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, to a new seat created by 75 Stat. 80. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on September 21, 1961, and received his commission on September 22, 1961. He served as Chief Judge from 1968 to 1972. He assumed senior status on April 1, 1972. His service was terminated on August 31, 1974, due to resignation.[1] His resignation was prompted by Congress's refusal to raise judicial salaries.[2]
