Former Montana solicitor general nominated to 9th Circuit court
President Trump announced Friday that he’ll nominate former Montana Solicitor General Lawrence VanDyke for a spot on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction over nine Western states, including Montana.
VanDyke, who grew up in Bozeman, worked briefly in Montana during his legal career – and unsuccessfully ran for the Montana Supreme Court in 2014 in what became the state’s most expensive Supreme Court campaign.
