About Jordan W
Jordan W Gerheim earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia, completing a Bachelor of Science in 2004 with a double major in history and sociology. He went on to study law at the University of Alabama School of Law and received his Juris Doctor in 2008. Those years of study shaped a broad perspective on institutions and social context. They also established the foundation for his legal work in Alabama.
After law school he entered practice in Alabama and has maintained his practice in the state. His training combined liberal arts and legal instruction, which he uses when analyzing facts and advising clients. He is admitted to practice in Alabama and has worked on matters that require familiarity with state law, regulatory processes and procedural rules. Colleagues describe his approach as methodical; he breaks complex problems into discrete issues and addresses them one at a time.
Gerheim’s background in history and sociology informs how he frames legal questions. He often situates disputes within broader institutional or social patterns before turning to statutory text and precedent. That perspective shapes his written work and oral advocacy. Over time he has handled a range of tasks commonly found in private practice, including client counseling, legal research and drafting. He also manages case preparation and coordinates with experts when matters require specialized analysis.
He practices through Outside Chief Legal LLC. The firm listing indicates his current office affiliation and his ongoing work in Alabama. In that setting he provides legal services to clients who need counsel under Alabama law. He continues to draw on both his undergraduate study and his law training in serving those clients, handling a mix of advisory and litigation-related work on matters arising under state law.
