THE HILL — Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be introduced at her Senate confirmation hearing Monday by a former D.C. circuit court judge and a University of Pennsylvania law school professor.  The Senate Judiciary Committee announced Sunday that Judge Thomas Griffith and professor Lisa Fairfax will each have five minutes to introduce Jackson, who will then have ten minutes for her own opening statement. Griffith previously served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit before retiring in 2020, while Fairfax is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, where she is also co-director of the Institute for Law and Economics. Fairfax and Brown attended Harvard Law School together. “The unmitigated joy of seeing someone I love be nominated, why I’m still smiling right now and probably getting ready to tear up,” Fairfax told CBS. Griffith wrote to the Senate committee in support of Jackson’s confirmation late last month. “Judge Jackson and I occasionally differed on the best outcome of a given case,” he wrote. “However, I have always respected her careful approach, extraordinary judicial understanding, and collegial manner, three indispensable traits for success as a Justice on the Supreme Court.”
