Biography
Professor Ryan Williams is an Associate Professor of Law at the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University. A graduate of Georgetown Law and Yale University, Professor Williams has been named one of the top young law professors of color in America. In 2024, Professor Williams won the Excellence in Teaching Award at Duquesne Kline and has more than 10 years of teaching experience focusing on Torts, Civil Procedure, Race & the Law and National Security Law - the latter two forming the core of his scholarship. His most recent article, The Great Regression, examines the Supreme Court’s jurisprudential trajectory, noting that its recent decisions seem to reflect a deliberate effort to revert American law and society to the hierarchical norms and power structures characteristic of the 1950s.
