Hatch on Senate Confirmation of Robert Shelby to the United States District Court for the District of Utah

U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), a current member and former Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today issued the following statement after Robert Shelby was confirmed by the Senate to serve on the United States District Court for the District of Utah:

“Bob is a good man who has studied our laws inside and out, and he’s going to make a great addition to our District Court in Utah. He’s a hard worker who’s given his time in public service and defended the law in private practice as well. I congratulate Bob on this tremendous honor, and know he will fulfill this serious responsibility and serve his community as he has time and time again.”

NOTE: Hatch recommended Shelby’s nomination to President Barack Obama last November, and introduced Shelby during his successful Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing on April 26, 2012 (to view Hatch’s remarks, click HERE.)
