Zimmer’s career spans legal practice, teaching, and scholarship, with a focus on regulatory policy and labor market dynamics.
Education background includes a clerkship with Judge Tom Fairchild and prior experience as a management-side labor lawyer. He has co-authored a treatise and multiple editions of a casebook on Employment Discrimination Law. Current projects include teaching Labor Law at Loyola Chicago, aiming to integrate private and public sector unionization into a unified course.

Zimmer’s interdisciplinary approach bridges legal theory with real-world applications, reflected in his blog writings on economic collapse, regulatory failures, and educational methodologies.
