Biography
Rob Rogers grew up in Houston, Texas and graduated from the University of Texas, where he was editor of the student newspaper The Daily Texan. After law school at Harvard, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he began as an employment and litigation associate at a large D.C. law firm. He next practiced on Capitol Hill in the Office of Senate Chief Counsel for Employment, where he advised and defended Senate offices in employment-law matters.
He then left litigation for legal journalism, where he worked as an opinion editor at Legal Times, writing legal commentary and editing submissions by professors and practitioners. There, he also wrote a personal-finance column (“Legal Tender”), which advised on investing and financial management for lawyers.
