Timothy Reif is a United States Judge on the Court of International Trade, confirmed in 2020 after nomination by President Donald Trump. He is the great-nephew of Fritz Grünbaum, an Austrian Jewish cabaret artist and art collector whose collection was looted by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Reif has led prominent restitution efforts for Grünbaum's collection, including a high-profile lawsuit filed in 2019 in the Southern District of New York against Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress and founder of the Neue Galerie, over five disputed drawings by Egon Schiele allegedly acquired through a chain involving Nazi confiscation. Reif earned a bachelor's degree with honors from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1980 and was a Fulbright Scholar in El Minia, Egypt, that year. He received a Master of Public Administration from Princeton in 1985 and a J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1985 as a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar. A lifelong Democrat, Reif volunteered for Ted Kennedy's 1980 presidential campaign, John Kerry's 2004 campaign, Barack Obama's campaigns, and donated to Hillary Clinton in 2016. His career includes serving as General Counsel for the Office of the United States Trade Representative (2009-2017) and Chief International Trade Counsel for the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means (1998-2009), with prior roles in international trade policy.
