Biography

In 2005, Stone received his B.S. in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. In 2008, he earned his J.D. from the UCLA School of Law, where he served as a member of the UCLA Entertainment Law Review. In law school, Stone excelled in academic competitions such as the UCLA Mock Trial Program and Moot Court Honors Program and received accolades in national competitions.[5] Stone later served a judicial extern for Arthur Lawrence Alarcón, a senior judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, working on several civil and criminal Ninth Circuit appeals and drafting portions of published opinions, and later worked as a senior associate at national firms Barnes & Thornburg and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.[5]

In February 2020, Stone filed a series of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests asking a federal judge to order the Trump administration to produce the information removed from former national security advisor John Bolton's book, The Room Where It Happened, and to reveal details concerning the underlying prepublication review process. The National Security Council (NSC) Records Access and Information Security Management Directorate (RAISMD) were named as the primary defendants in the action, along with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Archives and Records Administration, and Departments of Defense, Justice, and State.[6][7] The suit was dismissed on March 18, 2021.[8]

In September 2021, Stone became an adjunct law professor at Georgetown University.[5]
