罗得岛州长麦基提名三名法官：高等法院与家事法院补缺，地区法院首席法官换人
美国罗得岛州州长丹·麦基11月6日宣布三项司法提名，填补该州法院系统的关键空缺，三项提名均须州参议院确认。
高等法院法官提名人选为卡莉·博韦·伊亚弗拉特：她是执业劳工律师，曾在2011年罗得岛州养老金改革诉讼中为退休人员维权，并在罗杰·威廉姆斯大学法学院担任兼职教授。她将接替退休的兰菲尔法官留下的席位——罗得岛州高等法院法官为终身任命。
家事法院治安法官提名人选为丹尼斯·卡西西·芬克尔曼：她自2021年起担任家事法院治安法官，此次是补蒙塔尔巴诺升任家事法院首席法官后留下的缺额。
地区法院首席法官提名人选为黛布拉·索恩德斯：她2023年进入地区法院，此前在罗得岛州最高法院担任书记官长达15年。她将接替让娜·拉法齐亚出任地区法院首席法官。
州长办公室表示，三名人选的确认听证将由州参议院司法委员会安排。麦基在卸任前陆续完成多项终身司法任命提名，为继任者留下成形的法院班底。（来源：罗得岛州州长办公室）
Rhode Island Governor McKee Nominates Three Judges: Superior and Family Court Vacancies Filled, New District Court Chief Judge Named
Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee announced three judicial nominations on November 6 to fill key vacancies in the state court system; all three require confirmation by the state Senate.
For the Superior Court, McKee nominated Carly Beauvais Iafrate, a labor attorney who represented retirees in the litigation over Rhode Island's 2011 pension reform and serves as an adjunct professor at Roger Williams University School of Law. She would fill the seat left by the retirement of Judge Lanphear; Superior Court judgeships in Rhode Island are lifetime appointments.
For the Family Court, he nominated magistrate Denise Cassisi Finkelman, who has served as a Family Court magistrate since 2021, to fill the vacancy created when Judge Montalbano was elevated to chief judge of that court.
For chief judge of the District Court, McKee nominated Debra Saunders, who joined the District Court bench in 2023 after 15 years as clerk of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. She would succeed Jeanne E. LaFazia as chief judge.
The Governor's Office said confirmation hearings will be scheduled by the Senate Judiciary Committee. McKee has been completing a series of lifetime judicial nominations ahead of leaving office, shaping the bench his successor will inherit. (Source: Office of the Governor of Rhode Island)
