Statement from John Marrella, Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice, Tax Division:
“Bill Nardini is an excellent choice for the open seat on the Second Circuit. Bill and I worked together at the United States Attorney’s Office in New Haven for eight years. He is a highly effective trial attorney and a superior appellate advocate, with almost 20 years of prosecutorial experience. He has a first-rate temperament and an outstanding legal mind. Throughout his career, Bill has demonstrated a commitment to the Constitution and the rule of law. In addition to his stellar professional qualifications, he is a man of great personal virtue and probity.”
Statement from Carol Platt Liebau, President, Yankee Institute:
“William Nardini is a splendid nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, combining outstanding credentials with a clear commitment to constitutionalist jurisprudence and the rule of law. We would be fortunate to have someone of his caliber on the federal bench.”
Statement from Marah Stith McLeod, associate professor of law, University of Notre Dame Law School:
“Bill Nardini’s nomination to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals is great news. He is the quintessential public servant, who pursues justice and the rule of law with keen intelligence, honesty, and humility. The parties before the court could not hope for a fairer judge, and the bench could not hope for a more gracious and principled colleague.”
