Biography

Brandi M. Lupo is an Assistant Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School, where she teaches courses in civil procedure and legal ethics. Her research examines how procedural rules, litigation strategy, and judicial decision-making shape access to justice and institutional legitimacy. Some of her scholarship explores when and how courts should "level the playing field" between litigants with unequal resources. In other work, she investigates how courts establish legitimacy and maintain public confidence in law. Her scholarship has appeared or is forthcoming in the Columbia Law Review, the New York University Law Review, the Northwestern Journal of Human Rights, and The Regulatory Review.

Before joining Brooklyn Law School, Professor Lupo was a Thomas C. Grey Fellow and Lecturer in Law at Stanford Law School. Previously, she was a litigation and enforcement associate at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, where she specialized in complex litigation and international disputes. She clerked for the Honorable William J. Nardini of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the Honorable Ann M. Donnelly of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Professor Lupo received her J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and her B.A. from NYU’s Gallatin School. As a first-generation college graduate, she knows the challenges of forging new paths and is committed to making those journeys possible for others.
