Professor Sidney Jacoby joined the faculty of Cleveland-Marshall after teaching at Georgetown and Case Western Reserve Law Schools. Prior to teaching, he served as an attorney with the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board and with the U.S. Department of Interior in Washington, D.C., during which time he was an assistant to Justice Robert Jackson, the chief prosecutor of the Nuremberg war crimes trial. He was also a prolific author whose published works include Ohio Civil Practice, Litigation with the Federal Government, and parts of West’s Federal Practice Manual. Upon his retirement in 1981, U.S. Court of Claims judge Oscar H. Davis wrote that Jacoby “is truly one of the founders and creators of this new legal specialty [federal government litigation] in our nation.”
