John Sweeney

Legal Policy Analyst

John Sweeney is a legal policy analyst with Pacific Legal Foundation, where he helps draft model legislation.

John graduated from Stockton College, where he studied political science, then earned his J.D. at Widener University Delaware Law School. Before joining PLF, he worked as a communications manager for The Fairness Center, a nonprofit public interest law firm that provides free help to those harmed by public sector union officials.   

John was born and raised in New Jersey. He believes passionately that New Jersey is America’s greatest state. For those who are not from NJ, no explanation will suffice, and for those who are, no explanation is necessary.    

He enjoys a tight 45-minute Mass, Cormac McCarthy novels, playing guitar (poorly), and Lagavulin scotch. He is both proud and embarrassed to have a near-encyclopedic knowledge of Seinfeld.
