Professor Marks joined Thomas Cooley's faculty after teaching at the University of California-Davis School of Law. While at UC Davis, he taught Legal Research and Writing, Legal Methods, and Marital Property, and served as adviser to a number of successful moot court teams.

Before turning to a career teaching law, Professor Marks clerked for Chief Justice Warren Matthews of the Alaska Supreme Court. He later was an associate with the Los Angeles offices of Sidley & Austin, where he worked primarily on commercial litigation matters. His experience includes private sector litigation involving commercial contracts, securities fraud, business torts, employment discrimination, and disability rights. His interest in disability rights stems from five years as a special education instructor, rehabilitation therapist, and social worker.

In law school, Professor Marks was a member of several successful moot court teams. He is a member of the Order of the Coif and was the recipient of several American Jurisprudence Awards.

Professor Marks is a member of the State Bar of California and Michigan and has been admitted to practice before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He teaches Torts, Remedies, and Employment Discrimination.
