Timeline

1960

Jeffrey Stuart Sutton (born October 31, 1960) is an American lawyer and jurist serving as the Chief United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

1983

Sutton received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Williams College in 1983.

Sutton worked as a paralegal in Washington, D.C., and spent a summer at an archaeological dig site in Jordan as part of a United States Department of State cultural exchange program, then returned to Ohio to be a high school history teacher and varsity soccer coach at the Columbus Academy, a private school in Gahanna, Ohio.

1990

Sutton received his Juris Doctor from 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.

1991

Next he clerked at the United States Supreme Court from 1991 to 1992, primarily working under Antonin Scalia, who later said Sutton was "one of the very best law clerks [he] ever had", as well as for Lewis F. Powell Jr., who had assumed senior status.

1992

Sutton was in private practice in Columbus from 1992 to 1995 and 1998 to 2003, serving as Solicitor General of Ohio from 1995 to 1998.

1994

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 extensively.

2000

On a podcast with Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman, Judge Sutton, a conservative originalist, expressed the view that the United States Supreme Court's December 2000 decision in Bush v. Gore was wrongly decided.

2001

Sutton was first nominated by President George W. Bush on May 9, 2001, to a seat on the Sixth Circuit vacated by David A. Nelson, who assumed senior status on October 1, 1999.

2003

Sutton was not confirmed until almost two years later, on April 29, 2003, when the Senate of the 108th United States Congress confirmed him by a 52–41 vote.

He received his commission on May 5, 2003.

He became Chief Judge on May 1, 2021.

2007

In 2007, Sutton dissented in part when the Sixth Circuit held that a police officer did not have qualified immunity for arresting a speaker for using foul language at a town meeting.

2009

Sutton chaired the Advisory Committee on Appellate Rules of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 2009 to 2012, and served on the committee beginning in 2005.

2010

That nomination, made during the 107th United States Congress, never received a floor vote in the United States Senate.

This ran counter to rulings by the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 4th, 7th, 9th and 10th circuits, which then led the U.S. Supreme Court to grant writ of certiorari to review same-sex marriage bans when it previously declined to do so.

In Obergefell v. Hodges the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Sixth Circuit.

On July 8, 2023, Sutton temporarily halted a lower court injunction on Tennessee's law banning gender affirming care for minors.

Sutton reasoned that there is no "deeply rooted" historical or traditional evidence that the treatment is allowed.

He did note that the current ruling allowing the ban on gender-affirming care to go into effect is temporary, saying, "We may be wrong."

He has currently set forth a tentative date of September 30, 2023 to have a final judgement on the matter.

Since joining the bench, Judge Sutton has been one of the most prolific feeder judges, sending a number of his law clerks to the Supreme Court.

2011

In June 2011, Sutton became the first judge appointed by a Republican to rule in favor of the health care mandate in President Barack Obama's Health Care law.

2012

He went on to chair the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure from 2012 to 2015.

2013

The ruling was the second federal court ruling and the only Federal Court of Appeals ruling to uphold same-sex marriage bans after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a portion of the Defense of Marriage Act in United States v. Windsor in June 2013.

2014

In November 2014, Sutton authored the 2–1 opinion ruling upholding same-sex marriage bans in Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee in the Sixth Circuit reversing six previous federal district court rulings.
