Jeffrey Stuart Sutton (born October 31, 1960 in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia) is a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
Sutton received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Williams College in 1983. After graduating from college and prior to law school, Sutton taught high school history and was the varsity soccer coach at The Columbus Academy, a private school in Gahanna, Ohio.
He received his Juris Doctor from The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law in 1990. He then clerked for Judge Thomas Meskill of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit from 1990 to 1991 and then on the United States Supreme Court for Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr.. However, since Justice Powell had assumed senior status, Sutton primarily worked under Antonin Scalia from 1991 to 1992.
Sutton was in private practice in Columbus from 1992 to 1995 and 1998 to 2003. Sutton was state solicitor for the state of Ohio from 1995 to 1998. He has also served as an adjunct professor of law at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law since 1994 and more recently as a visiting lecturer at Harvard Law School. He teaches state constitutional law, a subject in which he is particularly interested and about which he has written repeatedly.
