Clint Bolick has been at the forefront of libertarian and conservative public-interest litigation for nearly three decades. As a co-founder and former director of strategic litigation for the Institute for Justice, and as a former vice president for litigation at the Goldwater Institute, Bolick has achieved landmark legal victories on behalf of school choice, property rights, and entrepreneurial liberty. He has argued and won cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, multiple state supreme courts, and various state and federal courts around the country.
Now Bolick is preparing for a legal career on the other side of the bench. On January 6 Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) announced Bolick’s appointment to the Arizona Supreme Court.
