Jones Day lawyer expected to lead Civil Division

Brett Shumate is poised to lead the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Division under President-elect Donald Trump. A partner at Jones Day, Shumate previously served as a senior official in the Civil Division's Federal Programs Branch during Mr. Trump's first term. He has withdrawn from ongoing cases and is set to leave Jones Day on January 17. The Civil Division is the Justice Department's largest litigating section. In addition to defending the U.S. government when agencies or officials are sued, the office also brings cases to enforce U.S. laws and regulations.
