Amy J. Wildermuth

Amy J. Wildermuth Professor of Law

Professor Wildermuth joined the College of Law in 2003 after serving a one-year clerkship for Justice John Paul Stevens of the Supreme Court of the United States. She has also clerked for Judge Guido Calabresi, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and for Judge Harry T. Edwards, U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.  In addition to a one-year visiting professorship at SJQ, Professor Wildermuth has taught law at her alma mater.

Professor Wildermuth teaches and writes in the areas of civil procedure, administrative law, and natural resources and environmental law.  Her scholarship agenda focuses on three themes: (1) the importance of sound ecological science to the law on environmental issues, (2) the appropriate governance mechanisms in the administrative setting, and (3) the value of identifying and connecting to culture in order to create workable policy solutions.

In May 2007, Professor Wildermuth received the Outstanding Young Faculty Award for the College of Law.  In 2008, she was named Professor of the Year by the Jackie Chiles Society.  A native of Illinois, Amy spends her free time snowboarding and mountain biking.
