From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reva Siegel is the Nicholas deB. Katzenbach Professor of Law at Yale Law School. She is a specialist in constitutional law and antidiscrimination law.
Siegel graduated from Yale Law School in 1986, where she was an editor of The Yale Law Journal. She joined the Yale faculty in 1994. Her most notable work is "She the People: The Nineteenth Amendment, Sex Equality, Federalism, and the Family," 115 Harv. L. Rev. 947 (2002), which argues that the history leading up to the enactment of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, guaranteeing woman suffrage, should serve as the foundation for a more robust jurisprudence of sex equality. Her most recent work focuses on popular constitutionalism and Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, including "Legislative Constitutionalism and Section Five Power: Policentric Interpretation of the Family and Medical Leave Act," 112 Yale L.J. 1943 (2003) (with Robert Post).
