There are some 1.3 million attorneys in the United States. David A. Shaneyfelt is only one of them. But he brings a unique and fresh perspective to the history behind the Trial of Jesus.
First, he is a Roman Catholic steeped in the traditions and theology of the Roman Catholic Church. He is a graduate of Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California, where he was introduced to Classical Liberal Education through the Great Books of Western Civilization. He has published more than 80 articles, op-eds, and feature stories in the Catholic press including, the National Catholic Register, Catholic World Report, Crisis Magazine, and Homiletic and Pastoral Review. He is also a member of the Western Province of Dominican Laity.
Second, he is an attorney in private practice, with more than thirty years’ experience in litigating complex civil matters in state and Federal courts across the country. He holds the highest peer rating for ethical standards and legal ability from Martindale-Hubbell, and is among the five percent of attorneys in Southern California recognized as a Super Lawyer. He practices with The Alvarez Firm in Calabasas, California, having been a shareholder in the New York-based law firm, Anderson Kill and having served as a Trial Attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, in Washington, D.C.
