Early legal career (1961–1982)
Scalia started his legal career at Jones, Day, Cockley, and Reavis (now Jones Day) in Cleveland, Ohio, where he served from 1961 to 1967. He was highly regarded at the law office and would most likely have been hired as a partner, but later said he had long wanted to teach. In 1967, he left the law practice to become a professor of law at the University of Virginia School of Law in Charlottesville, moving his family to Charlottesville.
Scalia began public service in 1971 after four years in Charlottesville. President Richard Nixon named him general counsel for the Office of Telecommunication Policy, where one of his main jobs was to develop federal policy to support cable television growth. He served as Chairman of the Administrative Conference of the United States, a tiny government that attempted to improve the federal bureaucracy's operation from 1972 to 1974. In mid-1974, Nixon nominated him as Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel. President Gerald Ford continued the nomination process after Nixon's resignation, and Scalia was confirmed by the Senate on August 22, 1974.
The Ford administration was embroiled in a number of problems with congress in the aftermath of Watergate. Scalia has testified before congressional commissions repeatedly, defending Ford administration claims of executive power and refusal to turn over documents. Scalia, a former senator, vetoed a bill to amend the Freedom of Information Act, which would greatly expand the act's coverage. Scalia's opinion prevailed, and Ford vetoed the bill, but Congress overtook it. Scalia's only complaint before the Supreme Court, Alfred Dunhill of London, Inc. vs. the Republic of Cuba, was argued in early 1976. Scalia, a US government representative, argued in favour of Dunhill, and it was a success. Scalia spent several months at the American Enterprise Institute following Ford's demise by President Jimmy Carter.
He then returned to academia, attending the University of Chicago Law School from 1977 to 1982, though he spent one year as a visiting professor at Stanford Law School. During Scalia's time in Chicago, Peter H. Russell of the Canadian government contracted him to write a paper about how the US was able to limit the activities of its shadowy departments for the McDonald Commission, which was investigating alleged crimes of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The paper, which was completed in 1979, encouraged the commission to recommend that a balance be struck between civil rights and the RCMP's virtually unsupervised operations. He became the first faculty advisor for the University of Chicago's chapter of the newly founded Federalist Society in 1981.
