Liz Murrill
Elizabeth Murrill (née Baker; born 1963) is an American politician and lawyer. A member of the Republican Party, she is serving as the 46th attorney general of Louisiana since January 2024. Prior to this, she served as solicitor general of Louisiana from 2015 to 2024.
Murrill grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana. Her parents are Dr. Larry Eugene Baker, who served as the Chief of Staff at Lafayette General Hospital in Lafayette, Louisiana, and Helen Vaughan Burdin Simpson, who was a professor of History and Humanities and the Head of the Department of History and Geography at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Murrill attended Cathedral-Carmel School, as well as Lafayette High School in Lafayette, Louisiana. In 1982, she was honored to serve as Queen Evangeline XLIII for the Queen Evangeline Mardi Gras parade in Lafayette.
She became a pledge of Delta Delta Delta sorority and earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Louisiana State University in 1985, after which she worked at a newspaper in Florida. Murrill later attended the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, where she served as the editor-in-chief of the Louisiana Law Review and graduated in 1991.
Murrill served as a United States Supreme Court Fellow from 2007 to 2008 and earned a Master of Laws degree from Pepperdine University School of Law in 2010. She clerked for U.S. District Judge Frank J. Polozola and Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal Judge Melvin Shortress. She became solicitor general of Louisiana in 2015.
As solicitor general Murrill argued:
In 2023, Jeff Landry, the attorney general of Louisiana, opted to run for governor of Louisiana instead of running for reelection. Murrill announced her candidacy to succeed him as attorney general in the 2023 election. Murrill finished in first place in the all-candidate primary election and advanced to a runoff election. In the runoff election on November 18, Murrill defeated Lindsey Cheek with 67% of the vote. She was the first woman to serve as attorney general in Louisiana.
"At the request of Attorney General Liz Murrill" Governor Jeff Landry signed an extradition warrant for a New York Doctor accusing her of violating Louisiana’s near-total abortion ban.
Murrill joined 14 other AG's "urging Congress to consider taking action preempting abortion shield laws".
