Orrin Grant Hatch received his Juris Doctorate in 1962 from the University of Pittsburgh, graduating with honors. Hatch was a practicing attorney, first in Pennsylvania then in Utah, until his election to the United States Senate. As Utah's senator, he has continually fought an expanding federal bureaucracy and has been at the forefront of the battle against burdensome and costly federal regulations. As the most senior Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Hatch is a leader in the fight for tougher anti-crime laws, civil justice reform to unclog the courts, and legislation to protect individual property rights. He also takes an active role in the confirmation of all judicial nominations, including justices of the Supreme Court. Senator Hatch is also the 2nd Ranking Republican on the Senate Committee on Finance, where the Senator has been a leading advocate for policies to encourage savings and investment, such as the Capital Formation Act of 1997, as well as many other pro-growth tax bills. He also played a key part in enacting the welfare reform bill, known as the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Now in his sixth term as Utah's senator, Orrin Hatch has championed a variety of legislative causes. Among his many achievements and initiatives are the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the Omnibus Property Rights Act, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty act, the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act, the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act, FDA reform, the Orphan Drug Act, the Ryan White AIDS Care legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Job Training Partnership Act, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the Patriot Act and the Serve America Act.
