More good news from the hiring front:
Anna Lvovsky has joined the faculty at
Harvard Law School as an Assistant Professor of Law. Cribbing from the
HLS website:
Anna Lvovsky is an Assistant Professor of Law at Harvard Law School,
where she teaches American legal history, the history of policing,
criminal law, and evidence. Professor Lvovsky’s scholarship focuses on
the legal and cultural dimensions of policing, judicial uses of
professional knowledge, and the regulation of gender, sexuality, and
morality. Her recent work examines judicial deference to police
expertise and the role of moral judgment in the Supreme Court’s Fourth
Amendment jurisprudence.
Professor Lvovsky’s book project, Queer Expertise: Urban Policing and the Discovery of the Gay World, 1920-1970,
under contract with the University of Chicago Press, examines how the
police drew on a combination of scientific expertise and lay stereotype
about homosexuality to shape the legal status of gay men in the United
States. As a dissertation, the project received the 2016 Julien Mezey
Dissertation Award from the Association for the Study of Law, Culture,
and the Humanities.
Prior to joining HLS, Professor Lvovsky was an Academic Fellow at
Columbia Law School. She clerked for Judge Michael Boudin of the 1st
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and for Judge Gerard E. Lynch of the 2nd
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Professor Lvovsky graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where she was articles co-chair of the Harvard Law Review
and the recipient of the LGBTQ Writing Prize, and received her Ph.D. in
the History of American Civilization from Harvard University. She
earned a B.A. summa cum laude from Yale College.
