McCallum spent nearly three decades in private practice before joining the U.S. Department of Justice as assistant attorney general for the civil division in 2001. He was confirmed as associate attorney general—the third ranking official in the DOJ—by the Senate in 2003.
McCallum was then tapped by President George W. Bush to serve as U.S. ambassador to Australia in 2006.
