The John Marshall Law School is pleased to present the Hon. Nathaniel R. Jones as the 1998 Jurist-in-Residence. Distinguished civil rights attorney, prominent community leader and human rights spokesperson, noted author and educator, Judge Jones was appointed to the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in 1979. Prior to service on that court, Judge Jones served as Assistant Counsel to President Johnson's National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders ("the Kerner Commission"). Later, he served as General Counsel of the NAACP. During his tenure at the NAACP, Judge Jones coordinated the organization's attack against northern school segregation, supervised its defense in the Mississippi Boycott case, directed the national response to attacks on affirmative action, and led an inquiry into racial discrimination in the military.

Judge Jones has written extensively about civil rights and equal protection in the United States, and human and political rights in Africa. He is highly regarded within the academic community and has taught at numerous law schools including, Harvard Law School, CUNY (named the first to hold the Haywood Burns Chair in Civil Rights), University of Cincinnati, Case-Western Reserve University, and Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.
