Akhil Amar Biography

Akhil Reed Amar is Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University, where he teaches constitutional law in both Yale College and Yale Law School. After graduating from Yale College, summa cum laude, in 1980 and from Yale Law School in 1984, and clerking for then Judge (later Justice) Stephen Breyer, Amar joined the Yale faculty in 1985 at the age of 26. He is Yale’s only living professor to have won the University’s unofficial triple crown: the Sterling Chair for scholarship, the DeVane Medal for teaching, and the Lamar Award for alumni service.

Amar’s work has won awards from both the American Bar Association and the Federalist Society, and he has been cited by Supreme Court justices across the spectrum in over fifty cases—tops among living scholars under age 70. He was an informal consultant to the popular TV show, The West Wing, and his scholarship has been showcased on many broadcasts, including "The Colbert Report," "Morning Joe," "AC360," "Fox News," and "Erin Burnett Outfront."

He is the author of more than a hundred law review articles and several books. "The Words That Made Us: America’s Constitutional Conversation, 1760-1840," came out in May 2021 and its sequel, "Born Equal: Remaking America’s Constitution, 1840-1920" is being published mid-September 2025. Amar also has a free weekly podcast, "Amarica’s Constitution." Amar’s op-eds and video links to many of his public lectures and free courses may be found online.
