Biography
Stuart Kyle Duncan (born 1972) is a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He was appointed to the court by President Donald Trump in 2017 and confirmed in 2018.
Duncan received his Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, from Louisiana State University and his Juris Doctor from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University, where he was inducted into the Order of the Coif and served as executive senior editor of the Louisiana Law Review. Duncan subsequently earned a Master of Laws from Columbia Law School.
After graduating from law school, Duncan clerked for Louisiana-based Circuit Judge John M. Duhé Jr. Of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
From 2008 to 2012, Duncan served as Appellate Chief for Louisiana’s Attorney General’s office. Some media have incorrectly stated that Duncan served as Solicitor General of Louisiana during his time at the Attorney General’s office, but the title of Solicitor General did not yet exist during the time that Duncan worked there. From 2012 to 2014, Duncan served as general counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, where he managed Becket’s nationwide public-interest litigation. He has been a member of the Federalist Society since 2012.
Duncan spent four years as an assistant professor of law at the University of Mississippi Law School. He also spent two years as an associate-in-law at Columbia University Law School, three years as an Assistant Solicitor General in the Office of the Solicitor General in the Texas Attorney General’s Office, and one year in the appellate practice group at Vinson & Elkins LLP.
Duncan has argued two cases before the Supreme Court of the United States, and has acted as lead counsel in numerous other cases in that Court, including Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., 134 S.Ct. 2751 (2014), in which he successfully led litigation challenging the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate on behalf of Hobby Lobby stores.
Before becoming a judge, Duncan practiced at the Washington, D.C., firm of Schaerr Duncan LLP, where he was a partner alongside Gene Schaerr and Stephen S. Schwartz.
