Professor Pollis joined the faculty in 2008 as a Visiting Assistant Professor. Before his appointment, Professor Pollis practiced law for 18 years in the litigation department of the Cleveland-based law firm of Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP. In private practice he focused extensively on appellate and general-commercial litigation and was one of the first 11 lawyers certified as an Ohio appellate-law specialist when that certification was first introduced in Ohio in 2008. He lectures frequently on appellate-law issues and co-authored (with Judge Mark Painter) the 2008-09 edition and the forthcoming 2009-10 edition of Ohio Appellate Practice (Thomson/West). Professor Pollis also has extensive trial experience, amassing verdicts totaling over $560 million since 2003, as well as experience in class-action litigation on the defense side. Professor Pollis teaches in the Civil Litigation and Mediation Clinic in the Milton A. Kramer Law Clinic Center, hearkening back to his roots as a law student at the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. He also teaches Appellate Practice.
