Utah Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen Resigns Amid Conflict of Interest Allegations
Utah Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen has resigned from her position, with her resignation taking immediate effect. Governor Cox expressed gratitude for Hagen's service to Utah and announced that details about filling the vacancy would be shared soon. The resignation follows allegations of a potential conflict of interest in a significant redistricting case. An ethics complaint raised concerns about Hagen's connection to the lead attorney for the League of Women Voters, who argued against the legality of Utah Republicans' proposed congressional maps. Hagen denied any conflict of interest, stating her last involvement in the case was in October 2024. She later recused herself from all cases involving the attorney in May 2025, as reflected in the Court's opinion on September 15, 2025.
