“These individuals are eminently qualified, highly experienced, and well respected,” Mills said. “They have demonstrated a fidelity to the law and a commitment to render justice faithfully and impartially. I am confident that their proven abilities will serve the people of Maine well from the bench.”

All judicial appointments are for a term of seven years and require review by the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee and confirmation by the Maine State Senate.
