Circuit from 1991 to 1992, and then for U.S. Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy, from 1993 to 1994. From 1995 to 2005, Gorsuch was in private practice with the law firm of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel. Gorsuch was a Deputy Associate Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice from 2005 to his appointment to the Tenth Circuit. Gorsuch graduated from Georgetown Preparatory School and received a Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University. He earned his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School and Doctor of Philosophy in Law from University College, Oxford supervised by Professor John Finnis.
