WashU Law and the university’s board of trustees recently granted tenure to Professor Andrea Katz.
Andrea Scoseria Katz’s teaching and scholarship focus on constitutional law, particularly presidential power and the development of the modern administrative state. Drawing on legal history, political theory, and comparative politics, her work has appeared in leading journals such as the Columbia Law Review, Texas Law Review, and Harvard Law Review Forum, and includes comparative studies of executive power in Latin America. She earned a Ph.D. in political science and a J.D. from Yale University, clerked at the European Court of Human Rights and the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and previously held research appointments in Brazil and Japan as well as a Golieb Fellowship in Legal History at NYU School of Law.
“Professor Katz’s work reflects the very best of legal scholarship—rigorous, historically grounded, and deeply relevant to today’s constitutional questions,” said Dean Stefanie Lindquist. “We are proud to award her tenure and grateful for the insight, energy, and commitment she brings to our community every day.”
Congratulations to Professor Katz!
