LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders named Cody Hiland to the Arkansas Supreme Court Monday, filling the seat on the bench left by the passing of Associate Justice Robin Wynne.
Hiland, who previously served as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas and as chief counsel for the Arkansas Department of Public Safety, was most recently the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party.
Prior to his time in the U.S. Attorney’s office, Hiland was elected to serve as the prosecuting attorney for the 20th Judicial District of Arkansas in 2010 and was re-elected in 2014.
