She will be joining Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis also an 麻豆社区 Law alumna currently on the Washington Supreme Court bench.
Justice Melody, a stalwart of the Attorney General鈥檚 Office, led the Wing Luke Civil Rights Division from its inception when Governor Ferguson created it in 2015 in his role as Attorney General. Justice Melody will succeed Justice Yu following Yu鈥檚 retirement at the end of the year.
