Ruff Fellow with the District of Columbia Office of the Attorney General, working in the Civil Litigation Division, where he was involved in various lawsuits, including for employment discrimination, negligence, and excessive force. During his time there, Jordan’s very first oral argument was before Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson, who at the time, was a Judge presiding over cases in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
