Justin Peacock

Justin Peacock was a former lawyer who switched careers to become author and then TV writer-producer. He graduated from the University of Michigan with BA, from Columbia University with MFA and from Yale Law School. He worked as an intellectual property and First Amendment attorney in New York — with his experience ranging from death penalty defense to First Amendment cases and big-firm litigation — before publishing his first novel, A Cure for Night, in 2008. Published by Doubleday, it was nominated for an Edgar Award and honored by the The Washington Post as a Book of the Year. He went on to become a full-time writer and relocated to Los Angeles in 2011 to work on Suits. Peacock wrote for the hit USA Network legal drama for three seasons in 2012-2015. He went on to work as writer-producer on another legal drama, Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, created by another lawyer-turned-TV writer, David E. Kelley. Most recently, Peacock was writer-supervising producer on Fox's freshman series Alert: Missing Persons Unit. He died on July 13, 2023 at his Los Angeles home of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at the age of 52.
