Marty previously served as an Intelligence Analyst for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, working on a range of criminal and national-security matters. Following law school, Marty began his appellate training as a Law Clerk for Chief Judge Jeffrey Howard of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
