Governor transmits Leonard H. Russin nomination to Utah Supreme Court
Summary
A gubernatorial communication transmitted the nomination of Leonard H. Russin to the Utah Supreme Court to replace retired Justice Gordon R. Hall; the nomination was received for advice and consent by the Senate on Jan. 18, 1994.
The Senate received a communication from the governor dated Dec. 18, 1993, transmitting the nomination of Leonard H. Russin to be appointed to the Utah Supreme Court to replace retired Justice Gordon R. Hall. The communication asked the Senate to take action on the appointment as part of the advice-and-consent process.
The clerk read the governor's letter into the record: "Dear president Christensen, and senate members, I propose and transmit the following appointment for advice and consent of the Utah State Senate: Leonard H. Russin to be appointed to the Utah Supreme Court to replace retired justice Gordon R. Hall. I respectfully request that the senate take action on the above appointment." The transcript records receipt of the nomination and movement into the advice-and-consent portion of the day; no confirmation vote appears in the provided record.
Under Senate practice, gubernatorial judicial nominations are referred to the appropriate committee for vetting and recommendation before the full chamber votes on advice and consent. The transcript shows the nomination was formally transmitted and entered into the Senate's advice-and-consent process.
