“I was deeply proud to vote to confirm Montgomery, Alabama, native Hal Mooty for a federal judgeship. His outstanding record at one of Alabama’s preeminent law firms and throughout his career speaks for itself. Having known Hal for 24 years, I have seen firsthand his relentless pursuit of excellence, commitment to the rule of law, and dedication to our great state.
