Prior to becoming a federal judge, Judge Hoffman was the general counsel of the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, one of the largest school districts in the United States, where he litigated numerous cases in federal and state courts in matters involving civil rights, employment and labor, education, personal injury and construction. He was also appointed as a hearing officer for the Nevada Department of Personnel, where he arbitrated employee discipline and termination appeals.
