He has drafted merits and amicus briefs and argued cases at all levels of federal and state courts — from state supreme courts, to federal appellate courts, to state and federal trial courts.

Prior to joining Jones Day, Jim served as a law clerk for Justice Samuel A. Alito at the Supreme Court of the United States and for Judges Jeffrey Sutton and David McKeague at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, where he worked on criminal and civil cases including constitutional cases and matters involving civil procedure and the federal courts.
