President Trump nominated Harold “Hal” Mooty to the Northern District of Alabama. If confirmed, Mooty would likely be a conservative voice on the bench for decades to come.
A Young, Conservative Voice
Mooty is a partner at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, where he specializes in contract disputes and business torts with a focus on healthcare clients accused of “medical malpractice and civil rights violations.” Mooty represented Arthur Williams, a jail doctor accused of negligence after an inmate died in a medical watch cell.
Mooty is the son of lawyer and fossil fuel lobbyist Harold Dean Mooty Jr., who lobbied for Petroleum Convenience Marketers of Alabama.
Mooty is in his early 40s. If confirmed, he will likely sit on the bench for decades to come.
