Nancy Staudt joins the Northwestern Law faculty as the Class of 1940 Professor of Law after serving as a professor of law and faculty advisor of the LLM Program in Taxation at Washington University in St. Louis.
Professor Staudt has spent the last year investigating congressional decision-making in the context of taxation. Her articles, ”Redundant Tax and Spending Programs,” 100 Northwestern Law Review 1197 (2006) and “Tax Policy in a System of Separated Powers: An Empirical Investigation,” (work-in-progress) explore the ways in which institutional, political, and economic factors impact legislative tax decisions.
After graduating from law school, Professor Staudt clerked for the Honorable John T. Noonan in the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals and worked as a tax associate at the San Francisco law firm of Morrison & Foerster. She has delivered more than 50 talks and presentations on such topics as "Taxation and the Supreme Court," and "Modeling Taxpayer Standing."
