Jack Zouhary (born December 18, 1951) is a senior United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
Zouhary was born in 1951 and raised in Toledo, Ohio[1] as the son of Lebanese immigrants.[2] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dartmouth College in 1973. He received a Juris Doctor from the University of Toledo College of Law in 1976. He was in private practice in Toledo, Ohio from 2004 to 2005 with the law firm of Fuller & Henry and Robison, Curphey & O'Connell from 1976 to 1999. He was Senior Vice President and General Counsel, S.E. Johnson Companies, Inc. from 2000 to 2003. He was briefly a judge on the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas from 2005 to 2006. Governor Bob Taft appointed Zouhary to the Court of Common Pleas after Zouhary ran unsuccessfully in 2004.[3]
Zouhary was nominated by President George W. Bush on December 14, 2005, to a seat vacated by David A. Katz, upon the recommendation of Senators Mike DeWine and George Voinovich.[3] The United States Senate confirmed him on March 16, 2006, by a 96–0 vote,[4] [3] and he received his commission on March 28, 2006. Since that time, his involvement with a prisoner re-entry program has received media attention.[5] He assumed senior status on July 1, 2019.
