Prof. Andrew Hammond appointed to Seventh Circuit Advisory Committee on Circuit Rules

Abstract

Andrew Hammond, Professor of Law and Harry T. Ice Faculty Fellow at Indiana University Maurer School of Law, has been appointed to the Advisory Committee on Circuit Rules for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. “I am honored to serve on the Seventh Circuit’s Advisory Committee on Circuit Rules,” Hammond said. “My first job out of law school was clerking for then-Chief Judge Wood of the Seventh Circuit, and my experience working for her and later Judge Dow in the Northern District of Illinois helped shape how I think about federal practice and procedure. I am also excited to serve as a conduit for my colleagues and my students to learn more about and provide feedback to the Seventh Circuit on its rules. We are fortunate in Indiana to have such a collegial and intellectually rigorous federal circuit court.
