US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, known for her bipartisan praise, has been representing the Biden administration since late 2021. Prelogar, who has argued more than 20 times since her Senate confirmation, has been lauded for her advocacy skills.
It remains uncertain if Prelogar's upcoming appearance at the high court will be her last as solicitor general, given that the federal government is involved in only a few major cases before the new administration takes over on January 21. The Department of Justice has requested to participate in oral arguments for a significant First Amendment case scheduled for mid-January, although a spokesperson declined to provide further details.
Originally from Idaho and a former Fulbright fellow, Prelogar has an impressive legal background, having clerked for Attorney General Merrick Garland and two Supreme Court justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan. Her interactions with conservative Justice Samuel Alito have been highlighted as some of the most captivating moments at the Supreme Court in recent years.
