Court of Appeals Riggs
FILE – Allison Riggs, an attorney for some of the liberal challengers seeking to have North Carolina’s new political maps ruled unconstitutional, questions state Rep. Destin Hall, a top Republican redistricting official, during a partisan gerrymandering trial on Jan. 5, 2022, at Campbell University School of Law in Raleigh, N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper said Thursday, Dec. 15, that he will appoint Riggs, a career activist attorney, to the North Carolina Court of Appeals to fill a vacancy when Judge Richard Dietz moves to the state Supreme Court next month.
