The Delaware General Assembly today unanimously confirmed Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom attorney Karen L. Valihura as a justice on the Delaware Supreme Court. She is set to replace retiring Justice Jack B. Jacobs, who stepped down today.
Valihura, 51, was confirmed shortly after a roughly 16-minute hearing that occurred before the General Assembly’s five-member executive committee. She was asked about her corporate law background, ability to work with other justices, potential conflicts, and views on criminal justice sentencing.
