Craig Stowers '85 Appointed to Alaska Supreme Court

Alaska Governor Sean Parnell has appointed Craig Stowers '85 to the Alaska Supreme Court.  Governor Parnell praised Stowers for his "character, legal experience, his strong work ethic, his intellect, and his record of service to Alaska's people" in announcing the appointment in December.

Stowers' career on the bench began when he was appointed to the Anchorage Superior Court by then-Governor Frank Murkowski in 2004. Previously, he had worked as a civil attorney and was a founding partner in the law firm Clapp, Peterson and Stowers, which specialized in defending professionals such as doctors and lawyers.  Prior to that, he clerked for Justice Warren Matthews of the Alaska Supreme Court and for U.S. Circuit Judge Robert Boochever in Juneau.
