Advertiser Staff
The state Senate voted unanimously this morning to confirm Katherine Leonard as a judge on the state Intermediate Court of Appeals.The vote was 23-0, with eight senators voting with reservations and two excused.
Leonard, a civil attorney and partner with Carlsmith Ball LLP, replaces Judge John S.W. Lim, who died in June.
Leonard was nominated by Gov. Linda Lingle after the Senate last month rejected O'ahu Circuit Court Judge Randal Lee's appointment to the appeals court.
