Who is Jeff Jeffrey L. Jocks in the Epstein files?

He is Jeffrey L. Jocks, an attorney at Sondee, Racine & Doren, PLC in Traverse City, Michigan. The 14 emails in the files show him acting as the point of contact for a subpoena directed at Interlochen Center for the Arts. He confirms receipt of the subpoena, arranges calls, and relays what the school's records do and don't show. The files do not suggest any personal relationship with Epstein.

What do the documents say about Interlochen Center for the Arts and Epstein?

Emails from Jocks say the school retains tuition payment information for only 7 years and that nothing in its files reflects any payments by Epstein or Epstein entities. The subpoena's purpose is not stated in the text shown here, and the emails do not say why the school was subpoenaed. They also do not say whether anyone connected to Epstein attended the school.

Is there any sign Jocks did anything improper?

No. The emails are routine legal correspondence: acknowledging a subpoena, scheduling calls, and reporting on record retention. Being named in the files reflects his role as counsel for a subpoenaed institution, not any wrongdoing.

Why does he show up so many times if there are only a few distinct emails?

The same messages appear repeatedly, including the February 6, 2020 receipt confirmation and the note about tuition records. They were likely forwarded or included in longer email chains and stored as separate documents, so the count of 14 overstates how many separate exchanges there were.

Watch: Jeff Jeffrey L. Jocks in the Epstein files

1:05

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Jeffrey L. Jocks is a Traverse City, Michigan attorney at Sondee, Racine & Doren, PLC. In the files he handles a subpoena to Interlochen Center for the Arts, and his emails say the school's records show no tuition payments from Epstein or Epstein entities.

All 14 documents are emails, and he is in the From/To/Cc header of every one. They are professional correspondence about a subpoena to Interlochen Center for the Arts, between February 2020 and March 2021. In them he confirms receipt of the subpoena, schedules calls, and reports on what the school's records contain. The files hold no other kinds of records mentioning him. Several of the 14 are duplicates or forwarded copies of the same few messages, so there are fewer distinct exchanges than the count suggests.

Key Highlights

•Emails from Jocks say Interlochen keeps tuition payment information for only 7 years and that nothing in its files reflects any payments by Epstein or Epstein entities. This is the main substantive content tied to him, and it appears in several copies.
•On February 6, 2020 he replied to a message addressed to 'Maurene' on the subject 'Subpoena to Interlochen Center for the Arts': 'Receipt confirmed.' The same reply appears in many copies.
•Later emails show him arranging calls on the subpoena. On October 30, 2020 he agreed to call in at 10am the following Monday. On March 25, 2021 he said he was free between 9 and 10am and again after 11am. Both threads carry a '(USANYS)' marker, which suggests federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York were involved.
•Another email from him asks whom he should respond to on a question and says things 'have gotten so complicated' that he can't remember or determine it. This points to a long-running, multi-party process.
•The archive's lists of connected names (Epstein, Maxwell, Prince Andrew and others) reflect that his emails sit in the same collection. The documents do not show him dealing with any of those people. His role is as outside counsel responding to a subpoena.
