A conversation with james whitman


James Q. Whitman is an American lawyer and Ford Foundation Professor of Comparative and Foreign Law at Yale University.

Contents

He graduated from Yale University with a B.A. and a J.D., from Columbia University with a M.A., and from the University of Chicago with a Ph.D. He was a Guggenheim Fellow.

Whitman's 2017 book, Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law, received general critical acclaim, but was dismissed by prominent neoconservative scholar Joshua Muravchik as mere reductio ad Hitlerum.

In 2017 he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AASS).
