Gov. Jack Markell has nominated Superior Court President Judge James T. Vaughn Jr. to replace retired Justice Carolyn Berger on the Delaware Supreme Court.

“For more than 15 years, President Judge Vaughn has served our state with distinction and integrity as a member of the Superior Court,” Markell said. “If confirmed by the Senate, his experience, his wisdom, and his commitment to justice will make him an outstanding addition to Delaware’s highest court.”
