About Taylor
Biography
Taylor has more than a decade of experience working as a lawyer and advocate in Arizona. He has helped shape the law in the courtroom, at the legislature, and via the ballot box. An excellent writer, oral advocate, and strategic thinker, Taylor successfully managed one of the busiest civil appellate practices in the state, advised numerous ballot measure committees, and run public affairs and grassroots campaigns. Taylor is also an engaging speaker, teacher, and writer who designs and delivers educational and training programs for lawyers, business leaders, and university students at both graduate and undergraduate levels.
If you'd like to see Taylor in action, here is a link to a video of his oral argument before the Arizona Supreme Court in 2010. This argument was conducted in the Great Hall of the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law--Taylor's alma mater. His portion of the argument starts at the 21:04 minute mark and runs for approximately the next twenty minutes.
