“I was pleased that today a fellow Pennsylvanian, Nora Barry Fischer, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. I was also happy to help expedite her nomination before the Judiciary Committee to help ensure a speedy consideration by the full Senate. Ms. Fischer is a native of Homestead, PA, and a graduate of Notre Dame Law School. In private practice, she has gained extensive experience in litigation and mediation. Ms. Fischer will bring a wealth of knowledge to the bench, and I am confident that she will serve western Pennsylvania and the Nation well.”
