- A 15-member committee of the American Bar Association met
- in Chicago last Saturday to evaluate David Souter's
- qualifications as a potential Justice of the Supreme Court.
- Imposingly named the Standing Committee on Federal Judiciary,
- the panel has no official standing, but its three possible
- assessments of nominees -- well qualified, qualified or not
- qualified -- carry clout in the Senate during confirmation
- hearings and votes. Intriguingly, one of the new A.B.A.
- committee members who will help rate Judge Souter is William
- J. Brennan III, a partner in a Princeton, N.J., law firm and
- the son of the retiring Justice whom Souter hopes to replace.
