I whanau a Scalia i Trenton, New Jersey. I whiwhi ia i tana tohu ture mai i te Kura Ture o Harvard, a, e ono nga tau i noho ia i roto i te umanga ture o Cleveland i mua i tana noho hei kaiwhakaako kura ture i te Whare Wananga o Virginia. I nga tau moata o te 1970, i mahi ia i nga tari a Nixon me Ford, i te mutunga ko te Kaiawhina o te Kawana. I whakapau te nuinga o nga tau o Carter ki te whakaako i te Whare Wananga o Chicago, i reira ia tetahi o nga kaitohutohu tuatahi o te Federalist Society. I te 1982, i whakatuhia ia e Ronald Reagan hei kaiwhakawa o te United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
