The Delaware General Assembly is set to hold a special session Oct. 8 to confirm a replacement for outgoing state Supreme Court Justice Carolyn Berger, according to Andrew Lippstone, chief legal counsel for Gov. Jack Markell.

Although Lippstone declined to speculate when Markell will send his nomination to the General Assembly, he did say Markell has blocked off time during the week of Sept. 8 to interview candidates.
