Johnson earned his undergraduate degree from St. Olaf College in 1985. Following graduation, he worked as a staff auditor for the Prudential Insurance Company in Minneapolis, and then as a staff assistant to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Johnson earned his J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law in 1992, having served as Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review. He spent the next two years as a judicial clerk, first with Charles Wolle of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa and then with David R.
