Barry Sullivan, J.D., a litigation partner in the Chicago office of Jenner & Block and co-chair of the firm’s appellate practice group, explored the relationship (or competition) among sources of values, including the professions and religion. He also considered this relationship in light of the professions’ place in civil society, the somewhat diminished influence of the professions and their value systems, and the current place of religion.

Mr. Sullivan has briefed and argued cases in the United States Supreme Court and in state and federal appellate courts throughout the United States. From 1988 to 1994, he was chair of the American Bar Association’s Coordinating Committee on AIDS and the law.

From 1994 to 1999, Mr. Sullivan was dean and professor of law at the Washington and Lee University School of Law. In 1998–99, he also served as vice president of the university. Mr. Sullivan has been a visiting professor at Northwestern Law School, a Fulbright professor at the University of Warsaw and a visiting fellow of Queen Mary College, University of London. Most recently, he has taught part-time at the University of Warsaw and at the University of Chicago Law School.

Mr. Sullivan’s professional publications, primarily in the areas of administrative and constitutional law, employment law, appellate practice and the legal profession, have appeared in Yale Law Journal, Dublin University Law Journal, Law and Contemporary Problems, Legal Ethics, Northwestern Law Review, Notre Dame Law Review, Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics, and Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics and Public Policy, among others.
