One of the state’s most prominent legal advocacy organizations has a brand new leader. After more than 25 years with Tim Hogan at the helm, the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest has a new executive director.

Hogan has been known for taking on the legislature over education funding and other powerful groups over countless issues.

The new executive director of the center is longtime board member and Scottsdale attorney Danny Adelman.

I met Adelman recently at a downtown Phoenix law office.

We started the conversation by talking about whether the impact the center has had on Arizona is because of the overall efforts or, specifically, because of his predecessor Tim Hogan.
