U.S. Congressional Oversight
U.S Senate Committee on the Judiciary
The Senate Judiciary Committee is best known for confirming judges nominated by the president to federal courts. However, the Judiciary Committee also has a broad jurisdiction over matters relating to criminal and civil judicial proceedings, and in the areas of federal criminal law and human rights, among others. It is in this capacity that the Judiciary Committee holds hearings to conduct oversight and consider legislative proposals related to PMSCs.
