"Irene Burger has a long history of valuable service to the people of West Virginia and I applaud the President's decision to nominate her for the Southern District Court," said Capito.
"Through her lengthy service to Kanawha County residents, along with her professionalism and fair-minded rulings as Circuit Court Judge, she's rightfully earned the respect of the West Virginia legal community.
