Lori Hickman is an Idaho attorney, community advocate, and mother dedicated to public service, ethical leadership, and upholding the rule of law. A graduate of Borah High School, Lori went on to study finance at Brigham Young University and then attended Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School, graduating with honors in 1991. 

Lori began her legal career as a litigation associate in the New York City office of Latham & Watkins, then took a position at Holme Roberts & Owen in Salt Lake City for one year before being recruited in 1996 to join Micron Technology’s in-house team as associate general counsel. While at Micron, she negotiated and structured intellectual property transactions, managed trademark and copyright work and advised on other high-level corporate matters. In 2002, Lori stepped away from her legal career to stay home full time and raise her three children with her husband Craig. She resumed her legal work in 2012 working for  United States District Court for the District of Idaho, and in 2014 joined a Boise law firm where she represents and advises clients in a variety of business, litigation and intellectual property matters. 

In addition to her legal career, Lori is a devoted mother, outdoor enthusiast, and an active community member who believes in principled, ethical government. She provides pro bono legal counsel for guardian ad litems in child protection cases, serves on neighborhood homeowner association boards in Boise and McCall, and cherishes the many years she volunteered as an Art Mom in her children’s elementary school classes. Lori is the former Board Chair (and current member) of Mormon Women for Ethical Government, reflecting her commitment to integrity, civic responsibility, and ethical leadership in public life.

In the last decade, Lori has solidified her adventurous spirit by walking 50 miles in a single day through all 5 boroughs of New York City, summiting Mount Borah in the Lost River Range with her family, and visiting all 50 states before she turned 60 (North Dakota being the last one).
