Andrew David "Andy" Hurwitz (born October 1, 1947) is a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Hurwitz graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University in 1968 with an Artium Baccalaureus degree in Public and International Affairs. While at Princeton he earned the ignominious distinction of participating in the longest winless streak of the men's soccer team, as part of the 0-7-3 squad in 1966.
He earned his Juris Doctor from Yale Law School in 1972, where he served as a member of the Board of Editors and the Note and Comment Editor of the Yale Law Journal.
After law school, he clerked for Judge Jon O. Newman of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. and for Judge John Joseph Smith of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
From 1973 to 1974, he clerked for Associate Justice Potter Stewart of the United States Supreme Court.
Hurwitz practiced law in Phoenix for nearly 30 years before becoming a judge. He was a partner at Osborn Maledon from 1995–2003, and an associate and partner at the predecessor firm Meyer Hendricks Victor Osborn & Maledon from 1974 to 1980 and from 1983 to 1995. His practice included commercial litigation, administrative law, and government affairs, but he was best known as one of the most skilled appellate specialists in Arizona.
