Other positions include working for Cincinnati law firm Keating, Muething & Klekamp; and serving on the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners and on Cincinnati City Council.
He also has a strong commitment to furthering the rule of law through education. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Law where he teaches Appellate Practice and Procedure. In addition, he has taught undergraduate courses at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio Government & Politics and American Courts.
Justice DeWine, the son of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, JD ‘72, graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in the top 10 percent of his class with Order of the Coif honors.
