Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery’s elevation to Justice Bill Montgomery carries a variety of potential consequences for his former office and the state.

Potential candidates are already lining up to replace him as top cop in Maricopa County, and criminal justice reform efforts at the Arizona Capitol could see a renewed push in the coming legislative session. So what could a post-Montgomery County Attorney office look like?
