Leahy Recommends Vermont Judge Christina Reiss For Vermont’s U.S. District Court Vacancy

WEDNESDAY (July 8 2009) – U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) Thursday recommended Vermont State Judge Christina Reiss of Essex Junction, Vt., to be the next judge on Vermont’s U.S. District Court.

If nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Reiss would be the first woman to serve on Vermont’s federal district court. She would fill the vacancy created when Judge J. Garvan Murtha announced his intention to take senior status on Vermont’s U.S. District Court, opening the first such vacancy in Vermont in several years.
