Gov. Janet Mills on Monday nominated Maine Superior Court Judge Valerie Stanfill as chief justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.
If confirmed, she would be the second woman to serve in that role, along with the most recent chief justice, Leigh Saufley. The current vacancy was created when Saufley left the bench last year to become dean of the University of Maine School of Law.
“Justice Stanfill’s sharp intellect, vast legal experience and expertise, and commitment to administering justice fairly and impartially make her an exceptional candidate to serve as Maine’s Chief Justice,” said Mills. “I firmly believe that the Court will benefit considerably from her skills and that our state will be well-served with her at the helm of Maine’s Judicial Branch.”
