Biography
Kevin Stack writes on administrative law, regulation, separation of powers, and presidential powers. His recent work has focused on judicial review of agency action, the President’s powers, and regulation. He is also co-author (with Lisa Bressman and Ed Rubin) of The Regulatory State (Aspen Publishers, 2010), a new casebook on statutes and regulations. Professor Stack currently serves as a co-chair of the Separation of Powers Committee for the Administrative and Regulatory Practice Section of the ABA. He joined Vanderbilt's law faculty in 2007 and served as Associate Dean for Research from July 2008 to July 2010. Professor Stack came to Vanderbilt from the faculty of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law of Yeshiva University, which he joined in 2002 after practicing as an associate at Jenner & Block in Washington, D.C. Prior to practice, he served as a law clerk for the Honorable Kimba M. Wood of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the Honorable A. Wallace Tashima of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. At Yale Law School, he was a senior editor of the Yale Law Journal, an articles editor of the Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities, and received the Felix S. Cohen Prize for the best essay by a student or fellow on a subject relating to legal philosophy. Before earning his J.D., he spent two years studying philosophy at Oxford University supported by a Fulbright Scholarship. He is a member of the District of Columbia and Maryland Bars. Professor Stack teaches Administrative Law, the Regulatory State, Legislation, Presidential Power, Civil Procedure, and European Union Law.
