Jin S. Choi
received his Juris Doctorate from the UCLA School of Law in
1995 and served as the Chief Comments Editor for the
Asian Pacific American Law Journal. In 1992, he
graduated with Distinction from the University of California
at Berkeley, earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in
political science.
Since joining LBAC in 1998, Mr. Choi has
represented public entities and their employees in cases
involving a broad array of federal and state law claims,
such as wrongful termination, excessive force, and 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 municipal liability. Mr. Choi also has extensive
appellate experience, having successfully argued before both
the Ninth Circuit and California Court of Appeal on numerous
occasions, and is well-versed in both federal and state
appellate procedures. Furthermore, Mr. Choi’s appellate
cases have yielded important published opinions by the
United States Supreme Court, California Supreme Court, Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals, and the California Court of
Appeal—including a landmark United States Supreme Court case
clarifying the scope of First Amendment protection in the
public employment setting. Mr. Choi recently authored an
article regarding this case for the California Labor &
Employment Law Review, entitled “Garcetti v. Ceballos:
Clarifying the Constitutional Dimensions of Public Employee
Speech.”
Prior to joining LBAC, Mr. Choi clerked with the
California Attorney General’s Office where he focused
primarily on appellate litigation.
Mr. Choi is fluent in Korean and is a sports
