Early life and education

Orr was born in Norfolk, Virginia and spent his childhood in Hendersonville, North Carolina.[citation needed] After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Orr served in the United States Army from 1968 to 1971.[citation needed] Orr returned to Chapel Hill to earn his Juris Doctor at University of North Carolina School of Law.[citation needed]

Career

After graduating from law school, Orr entered private law practice in Asheville, North Carolina. In 1986, Orr was appointed to the North Carolina Court of Appeals, and in 1994 was elected to the state's highest court. From 1992 to 1993, Orr served on the United States National Park System Advisory Board. Orr formerly served as an adjunct faculty member at North Carolina Central University and at UNC School of Law.[1]

On July 31, 2004, Orr retired from the state Supreme Court during the summer to head the newly formed North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law.[2]

In December 2006, The News & Observer reported that Orr was exploring a run for governor of North Carolina in 2008.[3] He made his candidacy official in late January 2007.[4] He lost to Pat McCrory in the May 2008 primary. Orr then returned to the NC Institute for Constitutional Law.[5] He stepped down from leading the institute in 2011 and joined the Poyner Spruill law firm.[6] Gov. McCrory appointed him to serve as district attorney for the 24th district in 2014, filling a vacancy through the 2014 general election.[7] He subsequently returned to the private practice of law.[citation needed]

Orr was a delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention. A supporter of John Kasich, Orr said he would not vote for his party's nominee, Donald Trump, in the general election, telling a reporter that Trump would be "a danger to the country."[8] Uproar over Orr's comments resulted in his credentials as a delegate being withheld which led him to leave the convention early.[9]

Orr officially left the Republican Party in February 2021, changing his registration to unaffiliated.[10]
