Jones Day lawyers working in the Justice Department include Noel Francisco (principal deputy solicitor general), John Gore (deputy assistant attorney general, civil rights division), Chad Readler (principal deputy assistant attorney general, civil division), and Michael Murray (counsel to the deputy attorney general).
Rounding out the list are James Uthmeier (special adviser to the Secretary of Commerce) and Stephen Vaden (special assistant to the Secretary of Agriculture).
