Background


Jurith was born in Brooklyn. He attended Bishop Loughlin High School in New York City, and graduated with honors from American University in 1973, and then received a law degree from Brooklyn Law School in 1976. He joined Lyon & Erlbaum in Kew Gardens as an appellate trial attorney.[3]



Career in government


His first government post was counsel for Congressman Leo Zeferreti, chairman of the House Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control, in 1982. According to the Daily News, "Studies his office initiated on narcotics enforcement, such as bail reform and mandatory sentencing, resulted in reams of legislation, including the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, one of the bedrocks of our national drug policy."[1] He was named staff director of that agency in 1987, joining the drug control policy office as director of legislative affairs in 1993. The Washington Post in 1993 called him "a widely respected drug expert."[4] He was instrumental in developing the Anti-Drug Abuse Acts of 1986 and 1988.[2]


He subsequently became General Counsel to the Office of National Drug Control Policy.[5]



Teaching


In 2010, he became an adjunct professor at the American University Washington College of Law. He taught a seminar about the intersection of law and drug policy. From the first year that he taught to the second, his enrollment increased from seven students to capacity with a waiting list.[2]



Family


He died of cancer in his home in North-West Washington[6] on November 9, 2013.[3] Mr. Jurith is survived by his wife, Kathleen Healy, and his sons Theodore and William.[2]
