Jon Eisenman is not a quitter. The appellate lawyer in Los Angeles tried five times to appear on “Jeopardy!” before he snagged a spot on the TV answer-and-question game show. So far, he’s won three games and is due to play his fourth on July 5.

Eisenman, who is a former associate in the D.C. office of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, now works as an associate at L.A.-based Greines, Martin, Stein & Richland, an appellate boutique that opened a San Francisco office last year.
