Confirmation Hearings Begin for Ketanji Brown Jackson

March 21, 2022 · 6:05 am ET · Leave a Comment

Four days of confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson begin Monday at 11am ET with opening statements from Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Dick Durbin and ranking member Sen. Chuck Grassley, NPR reports.

Then “the other 20 members of the committee will also give statements, and the day will conclude with Jackson delivering her opening statement, lasting 10 minutes.”

CNN: “Like most every other nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Jackson has been participating behind closed doors in so-called ‘moot court’ sessions to prepare for her upcoming hearings.”
