“Montgomery-Reeves, 41, has served on the Delaware Supreme Court since 2019 after four years as a judge on the business-focused Delaware Court of Chancery. She was earlier a partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.”

“Republicans during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in September sharply questioned Montgomery-Reeves about a proposal to alter the state’s bar exam to reduce racial bias in the legal profession.”
