As the Dog Days of Summer saunter into the state capital, there is still plenty of activity within the court system where three Superior Court judges Thursday were appointed to Appellate Court seats and 21 lawyers have been approved as new judges.

Appointed to the Appellate Court by state Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner were judges Marianne Espinosa, who sits in Elizabeth, Jonathan N. Harris, who sits in Hackensack and Victor Ashrafi, who sits in Somerville. They will assume their new roles on Aug. 1.

In the past six weeks, the Senate Judiciary Committee and full upper house have filled 21 of 38 Superior Court vacancies, leaving the 17 vacancies that exist the fewest since the Whitman administration.
