Stephen J. Squeri was born on April 3, 1954, in New York City, to John Alfred Squeri and Alice Marie Portalatin Squeri. He later established his professional career in Cleveland, Ohio, where he joined Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue after completing his legal education.
Squeri received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hofstra University in 1976 and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1979. Hofstra University, founded as a private institution in 1935, developed as a comprehensive university serving the New York metropolitan region. The University of Notre Dame's law school is a Catholic legal institution whose program combines professional legal education with the university's broader intellectual and ethical tradition.
Squeri began practicing law in Cleveland in 1979 as an associate with Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue, remaining in that position through 1987. Jones Day, as the firm is now known, is a major American law firm with roots in Cleveland and a practice extending across complex litigation and corporate matters. Squeri became a partner in 1988 and continued his association with the firm in Cleveland.
His practice has included antitrust litigation, business litigation, white-collar criminal matters, and intellectual-property disputes. Public court filings identify him as counsel in federal antitrust and commercial cases, including litigation involving Therm-All and Supreme Insulation, and later matters involving Yazaki and automotive-industry companies. He also contributed to professional legal commentary on antitrust sentencing and leniency issues.
Squeri was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1979, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in 1980, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1985, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas in 1986, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in 1986.
