Reva Siegel is the Nicholas deB. Katzenbach Professor of Law at Yale Law School, where she has taught courses in constitutional law, antidiscrimination law, legal history, and transnational equality law. Her writing draws on legal history to explore questions of law and inequality and to analyze how courts interact with representative government and popular movements in interpreting the Constitution. In her writing on antidiscrimination law, she has shown how challenges to a status order may lead to "preservation through transformation,: in which laws enforcing race or gender status evolve in rule structure and rhetoric as they are contested; antidiscrimination law that fails to adapt legitimates inequality. See, for example, Why Equal Protection No Longer Protects: The Evolving Forms of Status-Enforcing State Action, 49 Stan. L.Rev.1111 (1997); "The Rule of Love": Wife Beating as Prerogative and Privacy, 105 Yale L.J. 2117 (1996); and more recently, Conscience Wars: Complicity-Based Conscience Claims in Religion and Politics, 124 Yale L.J. 2516 (2015) (with Doug NeJaime). Her theoretical and practical writing in constitutional law is attentive to the interaction of social movements and other popular interpreters of the Constitution with judges and other state officials; her work shows how constitutional conflict helps steer constitutional development and helps promote the attachment of those who may be deeply estranged from official pronouncements of the law. See, for example, Community in Conflict: Same-Sex Marriage and Backlash, 64 U.C.L.A. L. REV. 1728 (2017); The Supreme Court, 2012 Term - Foreword: Equality Divided, 127 Harv. L. Rev. 1 (2013); Dead or Alive: Originalism as Popular Constitutionalism in Heller, 122 Harv. L. Rev. 191 (2008); The Right's Reasons: Constitutional Conflict and the Spread of Woman Protective Antiabortion Argument, 57 Duke L.J. 1641 (2008); Roe Rage: Backlash and Democratic Constitutionalism, 42 Harv.C.R.-C.L. L. Rev. 373 (2007) (with Robert Post); Constitutional Culture, Social Movement Conflict and Constitutional Change: The Case of the de facto ERA, 94 Cal. L. Rev 1323 (2006); Equality Talk: Antisubordination and Anticlassification Values in Constitutional Struggles Over Brown, 117 Harv. L. Rev. 1470 (2004); and She the People: The Nineteenth Amendment, Sex Equality, Federalism, and the Family, 115 Harv. L. Rev. 947 (2002). Her books include Processes of Constitutional Decisionmaking (with Paul Brest, Sanford Levinson, Jack M. Balkin, and Akhil Reed Amar, 2018); Before Roe v. Wade: Voices That Shaped the Abortion Debate Before the Supreme Court’s Ruling (with Linda Greenhouse, 2012); The Constitution in 2020 (edited with Jack M. Balkin, 2009); and Directions in Sexual Harassment Law (edited with Catharine A. MacKinnon, 2004). Professor Siegel was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2018; she is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and an honorary fellow of the American Society for Legal History. She serves on the board of Advisors and the Board of Academic Advisors of the American Constitution Society and on the General Council of the International Society of Public Law.
