Bernadette Meyler
Carl and Sheila Spaeth Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Research and Intellectual Life, Stanford Law School
Bernadette Meyler is a scholar of British and American constitutional law and of law and the humanities. She is also a 2020 Guggenheim Fellow in Constitutional Studies. Her research and teaching bring together the sometimes surprisingly divided fields of legal history and law and literature. They also examine the long history of constitutionalism, reaching back into the English common law ancestry of the U.S. Constitution.

Professor Meyler’s books stem from these respective areas of her scholarship. Theaters of Pardoning (Cornell UP, 2019) demonstrates that the representation of pardoning tracks changing conceptions of sovereignty within the plays and politics of seventeenth-century England. In doing so, the book considers how the shared audiences of dramatic and historical tragicomedy—whether Kings, students at the Inns of Court, or potential jurors—brought concepts from the literary into the legal arena and back again. Her current project, Common Law Originalism, shifts to the American context, looking at the multiple eighteenth-century common law meanings—both colonial and English—of various constitutional terms and phrases. Based on this variety, as well as on the practices of common law interpretation with which members of the Founding generation were familiar, the book argues that we should, in large part, reject the pursuit of a singular and determinate original meaning; instead, it contends, we must embrace a more vigorous debate in the present over contested constitutional meanings. Professor Meyler is also the co-editor of several collections of essays in law and the humanities designed to introduce scholars and students to the field, including, with Elizabeth Anker, New Directions in Law and Literature (Oxford UP, 2017) and, with Simon Stern and Maksymilian Del Mar, The Oxford Handbook of Law and the Humanities (Oxford UP, 2020).

After receiving her BA in Literature with a focus on Classics at Harvard University, Professor Meyler obtained her JD from Stanford Law School and completed a PhD in English at UC, Irvine as a Mellon Fellow in Humanistic Studies and a Chancellor’s Fellow. Following law school, Professor Meyler clerked for the Hon. Robert A. Katzmann of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Zachary Price
Professor of Law and Eucalyptus Foundation Endowed Chair, UC Law San Francisco
Professor Zachary Price holds the Eucalyptus Foundation Endowed Chair at the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings), where he teaches constitutional law and civil procedure. In Fall 2023, he was the Bruce Bromley Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. His scholarly work has appeared in numerous leading law reviews and addressed topics including federal enforcement discretion, Congress’s power of the purse, and Congress’s power to structure the military. His book Constitutional Symmetry: Judging in a Divided Republic was published by Cambridge University Press in 2024, and he has also written for publications including Lawfare, SCOTUSblog, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and The Hill.

Professor Price received his undergraduate degree with honors and distinction from Stanford University and his JD magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. He clerked for Associate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy of the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge David S. Tatel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and Judge Catherine C. Blake of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.

She teaches Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Legislation, Compliance & Risk Management for Attorneys, and Transnational Labor Regulation. Her research investigates various facets of regulation and governance, including regulatory compliance and enforcement, private voluntary regulation, and separation of powers in the U.S. administrative state. Recent work reveals the tension between the major questions doctrine and Roberts Court presidentialism, documents how agencies implement broadly worded statutory “public interest” standards and identifies a moral turn in administrative law. Her ongoing research explores the relationship between social activism and corporate compliance with private regulation; tests the efficacy of different messaging strategies on compliance with environmental regulations; and analyzes how the concept of “tyranny” is understood and deployed in U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence.
