Norman L. Eisen was sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Czech Republic on January

From January 2009 to January 2011, he served in the

Before entering the Administration, Ambassador Eisen was a partner in the Washington, D.C. law firm Zuckerman Spaeder. He spent almost two decades at the firm, where he launched and co-chaired the firm’s Public Client Practice, representing government entities on an array of matters, as well as handling white-collar investigations and complex commercial matters.
Ambassador Eisen is the co-founder of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a government watchdog group. Between college and law school, the Ambassador served for three years as an Assistant Director of the Los Angeles office of the Anti-Defamation League, a national civil rights organization.
Ambassador Eisen received his J.D. in 1991 from Harvard Law School and his B.A. from Brown University in 1985, both with honors.
