Today’s interview is with Jason Zarin who joined the Public Services Division of the Law Library of Congress last fall. Due to the pandemic, Jason has been onboarded almost entirely remotely but he was able to spend one day in his office so far.

Describe your background.

I’m originally from Texas but have lived on all three coasts of the United States. Life and work keep bringing me back to the Washington, D.C. area, and this is now the third time I get to call this area home.

What is your academic/professional history?

I graduated from Tufts University with a degree in economics, went to law school at the University of Southern California, and later received an LL.M. degree in taxation from Georgetown University Law School. I practiced federal tax litigation for nearly a decade, mostly for the Tax Division of the United States Department of Justice
