Chris Geidner, Senior Advisor for Law Policy at The Justice Collaborative, spent the past decade working as a journalist in Washington, DC. Most recently, he covered the Supreme Court as Legal Editor at BuzzFeed News, where he did extensive reporting on the death penalty and other criminal justice matters. His earlier coverage of the marriage equality movement and other LGBTQ issues led to his being named the Journalist of the Year by NLGJA, the association of LGBTQ journalists, in 2014. Prior to moving to DC, he was a practicing lawyer in Ohio and, while in law school, editor of the Ohio State Law Journal.
