SUMMARY:
In August 2025, President Trump nominated Harold “Hal” Mooty to the Northern District of Alabama. Mooty is
a partner at the law firm Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, where he focuses on contract disputes and
business torts with a focus on health care clients accused of “medical malpractice and civil rights violations.”
Mooty is the son of lawyer and fossil fuel lobbyist Harold Dean Mooty Jr., who lobbied for Petroleum
Convenience Marketers of Alabama.
If confirmed, Mooty would likely be a conservative voice on the bench for decades to come
