William Andrew Holohan[2] (July 1, 1928 – July 23, 2010) was a justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, serving from 1972 until his retirement in 1989. Holohan served as chief justice from 1982 to 1987.[3]
Holohan served as an Assistant United States Attorney to then–United States Attorney Jack D. H. Hays.[4] Holohan was considered conservative in his legal and political views but progressive in judicial reform.
In 1988, Holohan wrote the opinion of the court in Green v. Osborne, a 4–1 decision that canceled a recall election for Evan Mecham because Mecham already had been impeached and removed as governor."[5] Other notable opinions include a "1982 reversal of a lower-court ruling that declared Arizona Downs' lease at Turf Paradise to be unconstitutional and a violation of antitrust laws."[6]
