Gov. Doug Ducey selected two new justices for the Arizona Supreme Court Monday, including the first Hispanic to serve on the state’s top bench.

The governor chose John Lopez IV, 47, who is currently the state’s solicitor general. He heads the division inside the attorney general’s office charged with defending the state in litigation.

Lopez also has been called upon to issue legal opinions in cases where Attorney General Mark Brnovich has had a conflict of interest.

Also tapped for the bench is Andrew Gould, 54, currently a judge on the state Court of Appeals.

Both are Republicans like Ducey. Gould was formerly a Superior Court judge in Yuma County.
