After law school, he served as law clerk for Judge Ralph K. Winter of the US Appellate Court, Second Circuit, Judge Robert H. Bork of the D.C.

Calabresi served under presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush from 1985 to 1990.[2] During that time, he advised Attorney General Edwin Meese III, and Reagan Domestic Policy Chief T. Kenneth Cribb, and wrote campaign speeches for Vice President Dan Quayle.[6] Calabresi supports legally recognizing same-sex marriages.[7] In 2016, Professor Calabresi endowed the Abraham Lincoln Lecture on Constitutional Law at Northwestern Priztker School of Law in Chicago.
