Gov. Jack Markell on Tuesday nominated Superior Court President Judge James T. Vaughn Jr. to the Delaware Supreme Court.
Vaughn, 65, a Delaware native and son of the late Delaware Senator James T. Vaughn, was first named to the bench as a Kent County Superior Court judge in 1998.
If confirmed during a special session of the Senate next month, he will fill a vacancy left by Justice Carolyn Berger, who retired Sept. 1. …
In Dec. 2010, Vaughn presided over the civil case of John Vai against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wilmington that ended with a jury awarding Vai $3 million in damages for sexual abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of a priest.
