“Mr. President, earlier today the Senate confirmed Indira Talwani to fill a judicial vacancy on the District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Ms. Talwani's nomination came after she was recommended to me for this position by the Advisory Committee on Massachusetts Judicial Nominations. The Advisory Committee is comprised of distinguished members of the Massachusetts legal community, including prominent academics and litigators, and is chaired by former Massachusetts district court judge Nancy Gertner. The Advisory Committee's recommendation reflects the strength of Ms. Talwani's resume, the exceptionally warm reviews she received from those who have worked with her, and the firm conviction of the Massachusetts legal community that she will make an excellent district court judge.

Weigel on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, building practical experience that will serve her well as a district court judge.…”
