Amanda Rose, the Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Law & Business Program, has been elected a new member of the American Law Institute (ALI). Members bring their expertise to ALI’s work of clarifying the law through Restatements, Principles, and Model Codes.
“Each class of new members represents both continuity and renewal for The American Law Institute,” said ALI President David F. Levi. “At a time of rapid legal and technological change, these incoming members will help us navigate these challenges while steadfastly upholding the rule of law. Their dedication to our mission and expertise in the law will ensure that ALI’s work continues to serve as a trusted guide for courts, practitioners, and the public.”
Professor Rose is an expert on corporate and securities law and the institutional design of enforcement regimes. Before entering academia, she clerked for Judge William Fletcher on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and served as a litigation associate with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher in San Francisco for five years, where her practice included the defense of state regulatory proceedings, SEC enforcement actions, and state and federal class action and derivative litigation. She also played an integral role in briefing appeals before numerous state and federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court.
Her articles have been published in the Columbia Law Review, University of Chicago Law Review, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Northwestern University Law Review and Minnesota Law Review, among other top journals, and her essays appear in The Oxford Handbook of Corporate Law and Governance (2018) and The Research Handbook on Shareholder Litigation (Elgar, 2017).
