Utah Gov. Spencer Cox on Tuesday nominated Diana Hagen to replace Justice Deno Himonas on the Utah Supreme Court. Hagen is currently a Utah Court of Appeals judge. Her nomination requires a vote by Utah lawmakers.
Utah Supreme Court Justice Constandinos “Deno” Himonas, one of the major driving forces behind his state’s groundbreaking reforms opening up the legal marketplace to nontraditional providers, recently announced that he will be retiring from the bench to join a major law firm opening an office in the state’s capital.
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is opening an office in Salt Lake City, becoming the latest major U.S. law firm to plant a flag in the tech-heavy region sometimes called "Silicon Slopes."
