Biography
I am the Raoul Berger-Mark DeWolfe Howe Fellow in Legal History at Harvard Law School. I received my J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School in 2021 and am currently completing my Ph.D. in the Department of History also at Harvard. In 2022-2023, I was a Samuel I. Golieb Fellow in Legal History at N.Y.U. Law School. The following year, I was a law clerk to the Hon. Bruce M. Selya on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
I study the history of administrative and constitutional law from a comparative and transnational perspective. I am currently writing several article-length works on the movement of constitutional and administrative legal principles, procedures, and theories between Britain and the United States from the late nineteenth century to the 1970s. I am also completing a dissertation in which I examine how post-colonial legal systems in the Middle East both rejected and embraced the legal systems and cultures of their British colonial predecessors.
My writing has appeared or is forthcoming in the Yale Law Journal, Constitutional Commentary, and the peer-reviewed journals of Law and History Review and Comparative Studies in Society and History, among other venues. I have been awarded the Irving Oberman Memorial Prize for Constitutional Law, the Israeli History and Law Association Best Article Prize, and numerous teaching awards, among other honors.
