Biography

Post received his A.B. degree from Harvard in 1969 and earned his J.D. degree from Yale in 1977. While at Yale, he served as an editor of the Yale Law Journal. He then clerked for D.C. Circuit Judge David Bazelon and Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. Post subsequently earned a Ph.D. in History of American Civilization from Harvard University, worked briefly in private practice, and started his career in law teaching at Berkeley Law in 1983. Post moved from Berkeley to Yale in 2003 and succeeded Harold Koh as Dean when Koh was appointed to serve as Legal Adviser to the U.S. State Department. Post has been quoted in the New York Times on the composition of the Supreme Court.[3]

Post's academic interests include constitutional law, First Amendment, legal history, and affirmative action. His Citizens Divided (2014) looks at the constitutional aspects of electoral finance.
