Joseph Bui

Joseph Bui regularly briefs complex and novel legal issues before California and federal appellate courts, including the California Supreme Court.

Joseph joined GMSR after clerking for three federal judges: Judge Amos L. Mazzant in the Eastern District of Texas, Chief Judge M. Casey Rodgers in the Northern District of Florida, and Magistrate Judge David L. Horan in the Northern District of Texas. As a judicial law clerk, Joseph worked on complex civil actions that implicated contract law, class certification, and subject matter jurisdiction, among other areas of law. He was also an associate at a major commercial law firm’s San Francisco office, where he advised health insurers and providers on newly enacted statutes such as the Affordable Care Act often based only on the text, the legislative history, and first principles.

Joseph graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, earning a Prosser Prize in Constitutional Law. He also served as Editor-in-Chief of the Asian American Law Journal and Executive Editor of the Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law. Prior to law school, Joseph penned columns for the Youth Vote ’08 Blog, which was jointly published by the Washington Post and CBS News. Joseph’s work has also been featured on a nationally televised CNN segment, and published by Law 360, Politico, the Daily Californian, Current College Click TV, MoneyMix, and UWIRE, among other outlets.
