Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes announced on Dec. 4 that law firm Consovoy McCarthy PLLC would assist the state in potentially challenging the restoration of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments' original boundaries.
The announcement came days after a demonstration from pro-monument activists at the state’s capitol building, urging state officials not to pursue litigation or a reduction of the monuments, which have been controversial in Utah for years.
Reyes stated that the office has retained a law firm to “assist with research and analysis about potential litigation.”
