Paige Petersen (born 1972) is an American lawyer and judge, who is an associate justice of the Utah Supreme Court.[1] She previously served as a Utah District Court judge from 2015 to 2017.

Education and early career

Petersen was born in Georgia in 1972, but grew up in Emery County, Utah.[2][3] She graduated from Carbon High School in Price, Utah.[3] She completed an associate degree at the College of Eastern Utah, and a bachelor's degree at the University of Utah in 1995, where she majored in political science and English.[4] Petersen was an intern at the White House in 1995-1996.[2] She completed her law degree at Yale Law School in 1999.[3]

Petersen clerked for federal judge Susan Dlott of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in 1999-2001, and was an associate attorney for the law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett in New York City from 2001 to 2003.[4] She worked as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York from 2003 to 2008.[4] Petersen then spent two years in the Netherlands working as a prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.[2]

In 2012, Petersen moved back to Utah, and worked for the office of the United States Attorney for the District of Utah.[4]

Judicial career

The Governor of Utah Gary Herbert appointed Petersen as a state judge in March 2015, serving on the Utah District Court for the Third Judicial District, which covers three counties: Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele.[5]

In May 2017, Utah Supreme Court justice Christine Durham announced that she would retire in November 2017.[6] Utah's Judicial nominating commission announced seven possible candidates for the Supreme Court vacancy in September 2017, including Petersen, three other state judges, and three other lawyers.[7] Governor Herbert announced Petersen as his choice to replace Durham on October 31, 2017.[3] She was confirmed by the Utah State Senate on November 15, 2017.[8]

Petersen began her service as a justice of the Utah Supreme Court in December 2017.[1] Her current term ends on January 1, 2023, and she must stand in a retention election in 2022 in order to remain in office.[9]
