Bio

Gregory P. Joseph is a past President of the American College of Trial Lawyers (2010-11), Chair of the 60,000-member Section of Litigation of the American Bar Association (1997-98), and—by appointment of the Chief Justice—a member of the Advisory Committee on the Federal Rules of Evidence (1993-99). He is Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Supreme Court Historical Society.

One United States District opinion says of Mr. Joseph: “Greg is one of this country’s leading litigators (a few years ago he served as chairman of the Section on Litigation of the American Bar Association) and is an extraordinarily prolific author in addition to maintaining an active law practice.” The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has described him as “the leading authority on sanctions law”. In polls of lawyers he is regularly voted one of the top 10 lawyers in New York City and one of the top 10, 25, or 100 litigators in the United States or the world.

Mr. Joseph is the author of Sanctions: The Federal Law of Litigation Abuse (6th ed. 2020; Supp. 2021), which is cited in the Advisory Committee Notes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; Civil RICO: A Definitive Guide (5th ed. 2018), which the Harvard Law Review says “meticulously analyzes the decisions” (106 Harv. L. Rev.1376) and Fortune calls “the leading treatise on RICO” (Sept. 29, 2008 at 135); and Modern Visual Evidence (1984; Supp. 2018), which has been described as “the authoritative text” on that subject (Communication Arts, Sept./Oct. 1995 at 45). He has written more than 100 articles in professional journals. His books and articles have been cited in more than 300 judicial opinions, 500 professional journals and treatises, and in the Advisory Committee Notes to the Federal Rules of Evidence and Civil Procedure. He serves on the Editorial Board of Moore’s Federal Practice (3d ed.).

He has lectured for the Federal Judicial Center and National Judicial College; at the Judicial Conferences of the First, Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Circuits, U.S. Tax Court and U.S. Court of Claims; and at more than 200 professional conferences. He is an honors graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School (1975) and a member of the Council of the American Law Institute.
