About Adam
Adam Studnicki trained first as an economist and then as a lawyer. He earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Arizona State University in 1985, and completed his legal studies at Harvard Law School, receiving his J.D. in 1991. Those two degrees set a pattern in his career: attention to detail, and an interest in cases that require both legal analysis and careful factual work.
After law school he entered courtroom practice and built a practice centered in Arizona. He is admitted to the State Bar of Arizona and holds admission to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, and the United States Supreme Court. Those admissions have allowed him to handle matters at trial and on appeal across state and federal forums.
Studnicki has combined private practice with occasional academic work. In 2013 he served as an adjunct professor at Arizona Summit Law School, teaching and mentoring law students. He is also a member of the Arizona Association of Justice, where he participates in continuing legal education and collegial discussion on litigation practice and courtroom procedure.
He practices under the name Studnicki Law Office, PC. Over the years he has taken cases into federal district court and argued appeals in the Ninth Circuit. He has also filed pleadings and appeared in matters brought before the U.S. Supreme Court, an experience not every state practitioner has. His work tends to involve courtroom advocacy, written briefs, and the procedural work that accompanies litigation at multiple levels of the judiciary.
Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who prepares his cases thoroughly and expects the same of opposing counsel. He balances trial strategy with an eye toward how issues might play on appeal. Today he continues to represent clients in Arizona state and federal courts and on appeal, handling litigation matters that arise in those forums.
