Elliott James Schuchardt

Elliott J. Schuchardt is a politician and civil liberties advocate.  He is the author of the book, America's Achilles Heel:  How to Protect Your Family When America Loses the Reserve Currency.  

Mr. Schuchardt received his law degree from Columbia Law School in 1993 and his BA degree from Cornell University in 1989. He also spent a year studying at Oxford University in Oxford, England, as a visiting student. Before moving to Knoxville, Tennessee, Mr. Schuchardt practiced law with several large law firms in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.

Mr. Schuchardt practiced law for 25 years.  Between 2018 and 2026, a group of court insiders attacked Schuchardt's license to practice law, to prevent Schuchardt from defending his client.  The court-insiders were seeking a payment for themselves of $200,000.  When Schuchardt claimed that the court-insdiers were fabricating evidence, the Tennessee Supreme Court held that Schuchardt would not be permitted to talk to witnesses, testify or otherwise challenge the alleged fabricated evidence. 

Schuchardt responded by filing a civil rights lawsuit, under 42 U.S.C. 1983, in federal court. The complaint alleges harassment and fabrication of evidence by Tennessee state employee, Sandra Garrett. The case is filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, under the caption Schuchardt v. Garrett, Case No. Case No. 3:25-cv-0735.  

In 2026, Schuchardt was a candidate for the Tennessee General Assembly.
