A lawyer group that rates judicial nominees says a review of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett shows she’s qualified for a seat on the court.

A substantial majority of the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary determined that Barrett is “well qualified,” according to Randall Noel, chair of the committee.
