Professor Emmanuel Mauleón joined Minnesota Law as an Associate Professor of Law in summer 2024. He writes about the roles that police and other state security actors play in producing social, political, and legal regimes of domination and subordination.

From September 2020 to August 2021, he clerked for Judge Sarah Netburn of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Professor Mauleón received his J.D. from the UCLA School of Law with specializations in Critical Race Theory and Comparative and International Law, where he served as a senior editor for the UCLA Law Review, the chief developmental editor for the Chicanx-Latinx Law Review. Before law school, he studied creative expression and social movements at the University of Minnesota and New York University, Gallatin, before graduating with a B.F.A. in Painting with Highest Honors from the Rhode Island School of Design.
