The Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary for the American Bar Association has voted to recommend Hartford Superior Court Judge Vanessa L. Bryant for appointment to the federal district court.
In a Feb. 23 letter to U.S. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., Committee chair Roberta D. Liebenberg of Philadelphia’s Fine, Kaplan and Black notified the senate judiciary committee of the new recommendation. Last year the committee panned Bryant as “not qualified,” as did the Connecticut Bar Association’s Federal Judiciary Committee.
