Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Gibson Dunn & Crutcher’s Miguel Estrada, Latham & Watkins’ Gregory Garre and Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. signed a letter supporting the nomination of Debo Adegbile to lead the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The lawyers were mentioned in the letter but did not sign it.
The Senate Judiciary Committee today approved the nomination of Debo Adegbile to run the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice, despite objections from Republicans for his appellate work on behalf of a convicted killer.
