Justin Weinstein-Tull appointed to Arizona civil rights board

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes on Tuesday announced five appointments to the Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board, including one faculty member at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

According to Mayes in a press release, the new members bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the board, enhancing its mission to eliminate discrimination and promote civil rights across the state of Arizona.

“The Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board plays a crucial role in protecting and promoting civil rights in our state,” said Mayes. “Their contributions will be invaluable as we work together to advance justice for all Arizonans.”

Justin Weinstein-Tull is one of the five joining the advisory board. He is a professor at ASU Law, specializing in constitutional law, state and local courts and governments, and election law. His background includes serving as a trial attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and as a law clerk to the Honorable Sidney Thomas of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The Arizona Civil Rights Advisory Board is a politically balanced volunteer body consisting of residents appointed by the Arizona governor, according to the release. The board is authorized to make periodic surveys of the existence and effect of discrimination in the enjoyment of civil rights by any person within the state of Arizona, to foster the elimination of discrimination through community effort, and to issue publications of the results of studies, investigations, and research as in its judgment will tend to promote goodwill and the elimination of discrimination.
