Miriam Kohn joined our New Lawyers Group (NLG) in 2025. The NLG provides our newest lawyers with the opportunity to gain exposure to different practice areas and lawyering styles before making a commitment to a specific practice. Individuals in the NLG may focus on a particular area of practice, or compare practices, during their first year with Jones Day.
Before joining Jones Day, Miriam served as a law clerk to Judge Helene N. White of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and to Judge Douglas R. Cole of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
Prior to law school, Miriam taught English in Vientiane, Laos and worked at a company offering extracurricular speech and debate classes in Shanghai, China.
