Carlos González


Professor of law and Herbert Hannoch Scholar (Civil Procedure; Torts; Legislation and Statutory Interpretation)

Professor González earned his B.A. in political science with high distinction from the University of Michigan and his J.D. from Yale Law School, where he was a senior editor of the Yale Law Journal. After graduation from law school, he earned an M.A. in political science from Stanford University, and practiced litigation and employment law at Orrick, Harrington, and Sutcliffe in San Francisco. He joined the Rutgers faculty in 1997 and became a full professor in 2005.

Professor González's current research interests include statutory interpretation, direct democracy, popular sovereignty, federalism, and methods for mediating conflict between legal norms. His most recent publications include "Trumps, Inversions, Balancing, Presumptions, Institution Prompting, and Interpretive Canons: New Ways for Adjudicating Conflicts Between Legal Norms" in the Santa Clara Review (2005) and "Representing Structures through Which We the People Ratify Constitutions: The Troubling Original Understanding of the Constitution's Ratification Clauses" in the UC Davis Law Review (2005).
