Susan L. Carney, Deputy General Counsel, Yale University
Nominee for the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit

Despite some GOP concerns about her litigation experience, Yale University lawyer Susan Carney got the backing of the Senate Judiciary Committee today in her nomination for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.

The committee voted 16-2 in favor of her nomination, sending it to the full Senate.

Carney is deputy general counsel at Yale, where she’s been since 1998. She’s a former associate general counsel at the Peace Corps in Washington, and she spent about 11 years working for a series of law firms in Washington, including labor-focused Bredhoff & Kaiser.
