Southmayd Professor of Law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Charles F. Southmayd Professorship at the Yale Law School was established in 1913 by a gift in memory of Charles F. Southmayd, LL.D. 1884, from his sister, Emily F. Southmayd.[1] Scott J. Shapiro is the current Charles F. Southmayd Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy at Yale Law School,[2] appointed in April 2012.[3] Akhil Reed Amar was formerly Southmayd Professor of Law, until 2008 when he was named a Sterling Professor of Law.[4] Earlier Southmayd law professors included Boris I. Bittker, named Southmayd Professor in 1958, then Sterling Professor of Law in 1970,[5] and Arthur Allen Leff.[6]
