| Info | Jim Huffman is a teacher, a scholar, a husband, a father, and a constitutional expert, but mostly, he is just like you: an everyday citizen frustrated by a disconnected political class that has stopped listening to the people.
Jim teaches law at Lewis & Clark Law School. He joined the faculty in 1973, and became Acting Dean in 1993 and Dean in 1994, a position he held until 2006.
Jim grew up in Montana. Both his parents grew up on hard scrabble farms in Montana, and Jim worked on one of those farms as a young man and witnessed the struggles and pleasures of making a living from the land. He pulled green chain in a saw mill, built mountain trails, and worked on construction crews. He grew up with an appreciation for hard physical labor and the people who do it.
His thirteen years as dean of Lewis & Clark Law School, a $20 million a year private enterprise, taught Jim a simple lesson that seems to have somehow escaped our representatives in Washington, DC: expenses cannot exceed revenues.
Jim got his Bachelors degree from Montana State University, his Masters from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, and his law degree from the University of Chicago Law School.
Over his career, Jim has developed a long and distinguished record of books, articles, board memberships and professional affiliations. He has been married to his wife Leslie since 1994. Their family includes three school aged children, two older children from a previous marriage, and their black lab Lila.
