Biography

Hathaway was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. While in high school, she participated in the We the People and Mock Trial programs as a student at Lincoln High School, where she was also student body president.[2]

She received her B.A. summa cum laude from Harvard University in 1994 and her J.D. from Yale Law School, where in 1997 she was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal.[3] [4]

After graduation, Hathaway clerked for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court during the 1998 Term, and for D.C. Circuit Judge Patricia Wald. Following her clerkships, Hathaway held fellowships at Harvard University's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy and Center for the Ethics and the Professions.[5] [6] She was an associate professor at Boston University School of Law and served as Professor of Law at UC Berkeley School of Law.[7] [8] [9] She is currently the Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law, counselor to the dean at Yale Law School Professor of International Law and Area Studies at the Yale University MacMillan Center, Professor of the Yale University Department of Political Science, Director of the Yale Law School Center for Global Legal Challenges, and an Executive Editor at Just Security.[10] [11]

From 2009 to 2013, 2010 to 2014, 2013 to 2017, and 2016 to 2020, the last period in which a study was done, Hathaway was one of the ten most cited international law scholars.[12] [13] [14] [15] She was both the only woman in the top 10 and also youngest person on both lists. She is also among the top 10 most cited legal scholars in any field born in 1970 or after.[16] She has published widely and been quoted in the media as an expert on treaties and constitutional law.[17] [18] [19] [20] [21] In 2014–15, she served as the special counsel to the general counsel at the U.S. Department of Defense, a position for which she received the Office of the Secretary of Defense Award for Excellence. Her book with Scott J. Shapiro, The Internationalists: How a Radical Plan to Outlaw War Remade the World, was published by Simon & Schuster in September 2017 and was launched at an event organized in Washington, D.C., by New America and moderated by its vice president, Peter Bergen.[22] The Internationalists received wide acclaim by The New Yorker,[23] The Financial Times,[24] and The Economist,[25] among others.
