Minnesota Law Welcomes Haley S. Anderson to the Faculty in Fall 2026

The University of Minnesota Law School is thrilled to announce Haley S. Anderson will join the faculty in fall 2026 as an associate professor of law. 

Anderson is currently an Academic Fellow and Lecturer in Law at Columbia Law School. She is a proceduralist and political theorist whose scholarship examines the concept of sovereignty. Her work spans civil procedure, international law, federal courts, and related fields, and she looks forward to teaching Minnesota Law students in these areas.

Anderson received her B.A. with highest distinction from the University of Virginia and her J.D. from New York University School of Law, where she was managing editor of the N.Y.U. Law Review, a scholar at the Institute of International Law and Justice, and the recipient of the John Bruce Moore Award for excellence in law and philosophy. She is also currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Jurisprudence and Social Policy at the University of California Berkeley and a Postgraduate Fellow at Just Security.

Before returning to academia, Anderson worked for the Permanent Mission of Mozambique to the United Nations in Geneva, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and Oxford University Press, among others.

Welcome, Professor Anderson!
