Early life and legal career


Born Elizabeth Britt Cagle[2] in Atlanta, Georgia, Grant attended The Westminster Schools. She received a Bachelor of Arts in English and politics from Wake Forest University in North Carolina.[3] She worked for then-Congressman Nathan Deal in Washington, D.C., and then served in various roles in the administration of President George W. Bush.[3] Grant received a Juris Doctor from Stanford Law School, where she was president of the Federalist Society chapter, and was thereafter a law clerk to Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[4][5]



State Solicitor General and appointment to state Supreme Court


From 2015 to 2017, Grant was Solicitor General for the State of Georgia.[6] On January 1, 2017, Governor Nathan Deal appointed her to a seat on the Supreme Court of Georgia.[4] On November 17, 2017, Grant was named by President Donald Trump as a potential nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States.[7] On August 3, 2018 her service on the state supreme court was terminated due to her elevation to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.



Federal judicial service


On April 10, 2018, President Donald Trump nominated Grant to serve as a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.[8] She was nominated to the seat vacated by Judge Julie E. Carnes, who assumed senior status on June 18, 2018.[9] On May 23, 2018, a hearing on her nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[10] On July 19, 2018, her nomination was reported out of committee by a party line 11–10 vote.[11] On July 30, 2018, the Senate voted 52–44 to invoke cloture.[12] On July 31, 2018, the Senate voted 52–46 to confirm Grant.[13] She received her judicial commission on August 3, 2018.
