Governor Mark Gordon, on Friday, appointed a native of Saratoga, Attorney General Bridget Hill, to the Wyoming Supreme Court. Hill’s appointment fills the open seat left by the retirement of Chief Justice Kate Fox.
Hill has served as Wyoming Attorney General since 2019, overseeing the work of all attorneys in the office. From 2013 to 2018, she served as Director of the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments. Before then, Hill served for eight years in the Attorney General’s office in multiple capacities. She began her professional legal career as a Staff Attorney for Wyoming Supreme Court Justices Michael Golden and Larry Lehman. A Wyoming native, Hill attended Saratoga High School and earned her Bachelors and Juris Doctor degrees from the University of Wyoming
Hill was one of three candidates for the state Supreme Court.
In a statement Governor Gordon said, “I chose General Hill because she possesses a deep and original understanding of both Wyoming and Constitutional law. She has dedicated her legal career to public service and has proven her ability to examine issues from all perspectives. She reflects a level of integrity that is as valuable as it is admirable.”
Hill said she is “honored” by the Governor’s decision, adding that she has “tremendous respect and reverence for the work of the Wyoming Supreme Court.”
Hill’s appointment is effective May 28, 2025.
