President Joe Biden today nominated appellate lawyer Elizabeth Prelogar to serve as solicitor general, The Hill reports. Prelogar has spent seven months as acting solicitor general and has already argued two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court in the capacity. Prelogar has previously clerked for Attorney General Merrick Garland when he was on the U.S. Court of Appeals and she served as assistant to the solicitor general from 2014 to 2019. If her nomination is confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Prelogar would be the second woman in history to serve as solicitor general.
