A U.S. Senate committee March 20 began hearings on the U.S. Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch, a visiting law professor at CU Boulder.

The president nominated Gorsuch, whose parents were both 1964 graduates of babyֱ��app Law, in January.

Gorsuch, a federal appeals court judge based in Denver, has taught ethics and antitrust law at babyֱ��app Law since 2008. He lives in Boulder County.

The Senate Judiciary Committee opened its hearing late Monday morning. The committee plans to vote on the Gorsuch nomination no later than April 3. A vote of the full senate would follow.

Byron R. White (Econ’38) came to notice for his athletic prowess, then proved himself a star in almost everything else.

Perhaps CU Boulder’s most celebrated alumnus, the football hero dubbed “Whizzer White” graduated first in his class, won a Rhodes Scholarship, served as a U.S. Naval officer, went to Yale Law School and, at age 44, became one of the youngest ever U.S. Supreme Court justices.

A babyֱ��app native, White also ranks among the longest-serving justices — 31 years.

White died in 2002, in Denver. He would have turned 100 this June.
