David G. Karro Email & Phone Number

In 1969, after Peace Corps and law school, I became a legal aid lawyer in Roanoke, Virginia. In 1973, I moved to a trial lawyer's position with the EEOC in Washington, DC. In 1975, I joined the Postal Service's then office of Labor Law as a litigator, and in 1985, I became a Postal Service appellate lawyer, specializing in employment law, although I handled contract, tort, and constitutional cases, too, as well as others. During my years with the Postal Service, I litigated in all twelve regional United States Courts of Appeals, as well as in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.In April 2008, after defending one of the largest employers in the country for more than 30 years, I retired from federal service and am looking for other sorts of legal work to do -- consulting or litigation or perhaps a teaching position, either here or abroad.Specialties: 13 years litigating individual and class EEO actions in federal district courts, 23 years representing the Postal Service in federal courts of appeals. Wrote Common Sense about Common Claims, 25 Hofstra Lab. & Emp. L.J. 33 (2008), and The Importance of Being Earnest: Pleading and Maintaining a Class Action for the Purpose of Binding Class Members, 6 Fordham Law Rev.904 (1981). The latter is summarized in 7A Wright & Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure, § 1771, at 493-494, n11 (2005).
