Harjani said at his U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in February that he and his wife are “proud Illinoians.”
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday voted 53-46 to confirm federal Magistrate Judge Sunil Harjani to be a federal district court judge on the Chicago-based Northern District of Illinois.
In January, Biden nominated Harjani to be a federal district judge after Sens. Richard Durbin and Tammy Duckworth recommended him in November to the White House as a potential judicial nominee. According to his U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire, Harjani submitted an application to the senators’ screening committee in September, and interviewed with both Durbin and Duckworth in November.
“Judge Harjani is the most recent of many well-qualified, diverse nominees whom … Durbin has recommended and President Biden has nominated and confirmed,” said University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias, a longtime scholar of federal judicial selection. “Harjani has substantial relevant experience. Most recently he has served since 2019 as a magistrate judge on the Northern District of Illinois, and that is the most relevant experience for serving as a district judge.
