Before joining the bench, Judge Oetken worked at Jenner & Block, the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel, and as Associate White House Counsel to President Bill Clinton. He later practiced at Debevoise & Plimpton and served as Associate General Counsel at Cablevision. A 1991 graduate of Yale Law School, he clerked for Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer (D.D.C.), Judge Richard Cudahy (7th Circuit), and Justice Harry Blackmun on the U.S. Supreme Court.
