Ann Althouse (born 1951) is an American law professor and blogger. Raised in Newark and Wilmington, Delaware (and later as a teen in Wayne, New Jersey), Althouse has a degree in fine art from the University of Michigan, B.F.A. 1973, and graduated first in her class from New York University School of Law, J.D. 1981. [ [http://law.wisc.edu/webshare/02J6/v32n2.pdf The Bloggable Life of Professor Ann Althouse] , UW Gargoyle Magazine, Winter 2007, pp.28-30] She clerked for Judge Leonard B. Sand in the Southern District of New York and practiced law in the litigation department of Sullivan & Cromwell.

Since 1984 Althouse has taught federal jurisdiction, civil procedure, and constitutional law at the University of Wisconsin Law School, tenured since 1989. [http://althouse.blogspot.com/2005/09/lawprofs-opposed-to-john-roberts.html] She was a visiting professor at Brooklyn Law School for the 2007-08 academic year. A "leading light [] " in federal courts scholarship, [Ernest Young, "Institutional Settlement in a Globalizing Judicial System", 54 Duke L. J. 1143, 1149 n.18 and accompanying text (2005).] she has written extensively on federalism (her central thesis being the normative value of federalism in protecting individual rights), sovereign immunity and other legal issues. She is presently the Robert W. & Irma M. Arthur-Bascom Professor of Law at the University of Wisconsin Law School and a resident of Madison, Wisconsin.

Since 2004 she has written a popular eponymous blog, posting photographs and commentary on law, politics, and popular culture. Some critics label her a conservative blogger (possibly because of a generally more conservative readership, possibly because national security concerns led her to vote for George W. Bush in 2004), but she is a lifelong Democrat with few exceptions (indeed, a Jesse Jackson supporter in 1988) and is a moderate liberal on most issues. She is pro-choice and opposes overruling Roe v. Wade, ["See, e.g.," Ann Althouse, "Stepping Out of Professor Fallon’s Puzzle Box: A Response to ‘If Roe Were Overruled: Abortion and the Constitution in a Post-Roe World’", 51 St. Louis U. L. Rev. __ (2007).] but has said that she "do [es] in fact think abortion is wrong. I think most Americans agree with me and think it's wrong but not the role of government to police."
