Professor Andrea Katz, an Associate Professor of Law at the Washington University
School of Law in St. Louis, will present the annual Supreme Court review at NAFUSA’S
conference which will be held in St. Louis, Missouri on October 14-16. NAFUSA
conference attendees have come to expect a summary and analysis of recent Supreme
Court decisions presented by a highly qualified and interesting constitutional law expert,
and this year will be no different.

Professor Katz teaches and writes about constitutional law, with a particular focus on
presidential power, separation-of-powers theory, constitutionalism, and the development
of the modern administrative state. She received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale
University and a J.D. from Yale University Law School. She also holds a B.A. in
Comparative Literature and a B.A. in Japanese from Yale. After law school, she clerked
at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France and later clerked for
Judge Michael A. Ponsor in the District of Massachusetts. In addition to being a visiting
researcher at universities in Rio de Janeiro, San Paulo and Tokyo, she was a Golieb
Fellow in Legal History at NYU Law School before joining the Washington University
Faculty in Fall 2020.

Her scholarship and public commentary have examined questions of executive authority
and constitutional history, making her a notable speaker for a conference focused on
legal and public policy issues. Her work has appeared in the Columbia Law Review, the
Texas Law Review, the Harvard Law Review Forum and the International Journal of
Constitutional Law. Professor Katz’s presentation at the NAFUSA conference will be on
Friday, October 16.
