Peter Scheer is executive director of the California First Amendment Coalition, a public interest organization active in First Amendment and FOI issues both regionally, in California, and nationally. Scheer, a lawyer and journalist, received his JD degree from Harvard Law School (1978), where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review, and has argued cases in the U.S. Supreme Court and most of the federal courts of appeal. He was editor and publisher of The Recorder legal newspaper in San Francisco, publisher of Legal Times in Washington, DC and CEO of law.com. As a lawyer, he was an appellate litigator in the US Justice Department (Criminal Division), an associate with Hughes, Hubbard & Reed (Washington, DC office), and a partner in the (now defunct) Washington, DC law firm of Onek, Klein & Farr. Scheer's articles on law, politics and public policy appear frequently in Slate, the Sacramento Bee, San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, San Diego Union News & Tribune and the Los Angeles Daily Journal, among other publications. ID'ing Scheer is important because of his (my) prominence in California lawsuits and news stories about First Amendment liberties.
