We include information about the nominee, the nomination process, news coverage and debate, and institutions in the nominee's biography, focusing on high quality reference sources and original documents.

   ABA Federal Judiciary Committee (American Bar Association)
"The Standing Committee on Federal Judiciary of the American Bar Association evaluates the professional qualifications of all nominees to the Supreme Court of the United States, circuit courts of appeals, district courts (including territorial district courts) and the Court of International Trade. The Committee's goal is to support and encourage the selection of the best-qualified persons for the federal judiciary. It restricts its evaluation to issues bearing on professional qualifications and does not consider a nominee's philosophy or ideology."

"YLS Dean Harold Hongju Koh made the following statement: "It is always a great honor for our School when the President nominates one of our graduates for such an important post.

Although I have not gotten to know the judge personally, a number of my colleagues on the Yale Law faculty remember him with fondness and respect.
