AZ Supreme Court Justice Robert Brutinel will retire in October [View all]
Arizona Supreme Court Justice Robert Brutinel, a member of the state's top court since 2010, has notified the governor he plans to retire effective Oct. 31.
Brutinel told Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs of his plans in a two-page letter Tuesday, a copy of which was obtained by The Arizona Republic.
"The decision to leave the court has not been easy and I will greatly miss the Court's interesting and challenging work and particularly all the wonderful people with whom I have had the pleasure of working," the letter reads.
Former Republican Gov. Jan Brewer named Brutinel to the court in 2010, citing his reputation as “a man of high honor and integrity.” Brutinel previously served 14 years on the Yavapai County Superior Court bench. His fellow justices elected him chief justice for a five-year term in 2019. That term ended earlier this year.
