Martin "Marty" S. Lederman serves as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). He previously served in that position, appointed by President Obama in January 2009, and he earlier served as an Attorney Advisor in OLC. He has concentrated on questions involving freedom of speech, the Religion Clauses, congressional power and federalism, equal protection, separation of powers, copyright, and food and drug law. He helped draft the June 2010 memorandum authorizing the assassination of U.S. citizen and Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. ^[1]

Lederman is on leave from his position as a Professor from Practice at the Georgetown University Law Center and a Senior Fellow in its Supreme Court Institute. When not serving in government, he teaches courses in constitutional law, separation of powers, and executive branch lawyering, and he has been a regular contributor to the weblogs SCOTUSblog and Balkinization. His blogging and scholarship have focused on matters related to executive power, detention, interrogation, civil liberties, and torture.

Lederman was formerly an attorney at Bredhoff & Kaiser, where his practice consisted principally of federal litigation, including appeals on behalf of labor unions, employees and pension funds, with particular emphasis on constitutional law, labor law, civil rights, Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and employment law. He graduated from University of Michigan and Yale Law School. He served as law clerk to then-Chief Judge Jack B. Weinstein on the United States United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and to Judge Frank M. Coffin, on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

In November 2020, Lederman was named a volunteer member of the Joe Biden presidential transition Agency Review Team to support transition efforts related to the United States Department of Justice.^[2]

In early 2021, Lederman took a leave from Georgetown Law to join the Biden administration in OLC as Deputy Assistant Attorney General. This is his third time of service in OLC, where he was Deputy Assistant Attorney General from 2009 to 2010 and an Attorney Advisor from 1994 to 2002.
