Samuel D. Green

President & General Counsel, Reason for Life

Biography

Samuel D. Green serves as President & General Counsel at Reason for Life, a nonprofit ministry working to end abortion in America. In this role, Samuel focuses on educating, but he has also served as counsel of record on amicus briefs in multiple cases, including Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (abortion) and 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis (freedom of speech).

Before founding Reason for Life, Samuel spent five years at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), where he engaged in litigation to defend the sanctity of life, freedom of speech, and religious liberty. Samuel has also worked as a litigation associate at a large law firm (Jenner & Block), as a member of a presidential campaign’s legal team, and as a law clerk to the Honorable Raymond W. Gruender of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

Samuel finished first in his class at Pepperdine University School of Law, where he earned a Juris Doctor degree in 2011. He also studied political science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he graduated, summa cum laude, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2008.

Samuel has provided legislative testimony, preached sermons about the sanctity of life, and given presentations across the country to various groups or their chapters (including the Federalist Society, the Christian Legal Society, the St. Thomas More Society, Turning Point USA, Students for Life of America, Live Action, 40 Days for Life, Summit Ministries, and Teen Pact Leadership Schools). Samuel has also participated in media interviews and published articles with various outlets, including Newsweek, The Hill, The Seattle Times, WORLD, Washington Examiner, Arizona Capitol Times, The Federalist, and The Daily Signal.

Samuel is admitted to practice law in California, Arizona, Missouri, Montana, the U.S. Supreme Court, and multiple federal district and appellate courts.
