dbpprop:abstract
  • Ann Althouse (born January 12, 1951) is an American law professor and blogger. Raised in Newark and Wilmington, Delaware (and later as a teen in Wayne, New Jersey), Althouse has a degree in fine art from the University of Michigan, B.F.A. 1973, and graduated first in her class from New York University School of Law, J.D. 1981. She clerked for Judge Leonard B. Sand in the Southern District of New York and practiced law in the litigation department of Sullivan & Cromwell. Since 1984 Althouse has taught federal jurisdiction, civil procedure, and constitutional law at the University of Wisconsin Law School, tenured since 1989. She was a visiting professor at Brooklyn Law School for the 2007-08 academic year. A "leading light" in federal courts scholarship, she has written extensively on federalism (her central thesis being the normative value of federalism in protecting individual rights), sovereign immunity and other legal issues. She is currently the Robert W. & Irma M. Arthur-Bascom Professor of Law at the University of Wisconsin Law School and a resident of Madison, Wisconsin. Since 2004 she has written a popular eponymous blog, posting photographs and commentary on law, politics, and popular culture. In 2009, she announced her engagement to a commenter she had met through the blog, a story that attracted coverage in the blogosphere and the New York Times. Some critics label her a conservative blogger (possibly because of a generally more conservative readership, possibly because national security concerns led her to vote for George W. Bush in 2004), but she is a lifelong Democrat (indeed, a Jesse Jackson supporter in 1988), a Barack Obama voter in 2008, and a moderate liberal on most issues. She is pro-choice and opposes overruling Roe v. Wade, but has said that she "do[es] in fact think abortion is wrong. I think most Americans agree with me and think it's wrong but not the role of government to police."
