About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Greene earned her J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 2011, completing concentrations in litigation and international law and graduating with honors. Her legal training emphasized courtroom process and cross-border legal issues. Those early academic choices have informed her subsequent professional path.
After law school she established a practice that spans state and federal courts. Greene is admitted to the bars of New York and Ohio and is authorized to appear before the Sixth Circuit and the United States District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Ohio. Her admissions enable her to handle matters at both the trial and appellate levels.
Greene has taken on a number of organizational roles that signal her interests and the kinds of matters she pursues. She has served on the Federal Bar Association’s Northern District of Ohio Chapter Board as a Director-at-Large since 2017. She also joined the Ohio Innocence Project’s Northeast Ohio Board in 2017 and serves there as Vice President, a position that places her on the front line of post-conviction review and innocence work in the region. Her involvement with the Ohio chapter of the National Lawyers Guild began in 2015, where she acts as Ohio Co-Coordinator. She is a member of the National Police Accountability Project, a group she joined in 2014, and she holds memberships with the Cuyahoga County Defense Lawyers Association and the William K. Thomas Inn of Court, the latter reflecting an engagement with professional standards and mentoring.
Those roles align with the kinds of cases she pursues. Her work encompasses civil-rights litigation and police accountability matters. She handles defense-related litigation and post-conviction cases that require detailed record review and strategic filings in state and federal court. Her litigation background from law school and board work inform how she approaches evidence, pleadings and courtroom advocacy.
Colleagues describe Greene as methodical in her case preparation and direct in court presentations. She takes cases that often involve complex factual records or constitutional questions. That practical courtroom experience is complemented by her appellate admissions, which allow her to press legal arguments beyond the trial level when necessary.
She maintains an active practice in Ohio and New York and continues to take cases in federal courts across the Sixth Circuit. Her current practice focuses on civil-rights litigation, police accountability and post-conviction representation.
