Prior to attending law school, Justin Schwartz taught Philosophy at Kalamazoo College and Ohio State University. While pursuing his JD degree, he was articles editor for the Ohio State Law Journal and received numerous honors. After graduating third in his class, Professor Schwartz was a law clerk for the late Hon. Walter J. Cummings and Hon. Ilana Diamond Rovner, both with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. From 1999 through 2002, he was a law clerk for Hon. Elaine E. Bucklo with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Professor Schwartz has been a litigation associate with the Chicago firms Jones Day and Kirkland & Ellis. He has lectured extensively and published widely, and his article in Legal Studies, "Relativism, Reflective Equilibrium, and Justice," received the 1999 Berger Prize in Philosophy of Law from the American Philosophical Association. He is currently writing on changes in honest services mail fraud law, the lack of judicial deference to congressional fact-finding, and the rarity of worker self-managed enterprises.
Professor Schwartz came to John Marshall as a visiting professor in 2006 and joined the full-time faculty in 2007. He teaches Civil Procedure, Evidence, Federal Courts, White Collar Crime, and Employment Discrimination.
