John Gibbons
Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione
During his distinguished 20-year tenure as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, where he wrote more than 800 opinions, John Gibbons built up a stockpile of credibility. But he didn’t let his name collect dust on his old decisions by stepping down from the bench. In 1990 he returned to the firm where he began his career, Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione, and founded a fellowship program that funds full-time associates to practice public interest and constitutional law. His dedication to pro bono work has earned him the nickname as the firm’s “acid rainmaker.”
