Scott M. Edwards: Experience, Independence, and the Rule of LawScott M. Edwards is running for the Washington Supreme Court Pos. 1 with a career grounded in law, public service, and practical courtroom experience. A graduate of Princeton University magna cum laude and the University of Washington School of Law, Edwards has spent decades practicing law and handling complex litigation as a partner at Ballard Spahr in Seattle. He has also taught state and local tax law at the University of Washington School of Law for nearly 20 years. His professional experience has centered on careful legal analysis, navigating complex records, and presenting clear arguments—skills he says he would bring to the Supreme Court. Edwards says his approach to judicial service is centered on independence, the rule of law, and principled decision-making. He believes Supreme Court decisions should be grounded in the Washington Constitution, statutes, precedent, and the facts of each case rather than political pressure. Beyond his legal career, Edwards has served his community through organizations including the American Red Cross, his church parish council, and local scouting. https://votescottedwards.com/ |
