Barry Sullivan, who was appointed in 2009 as the inaugural holder of the Cooney & Conway Chair in Advocacy and Professor of Law at Loyola University Chicago, has had a varied career in the private practice of law, government legal practice, the teaching of law and public policy, and university administration.
Professor Sullivan was Dean of the School of Law at Washington and Lee University from 1994 to 1999 and Vice-President of the University in 1998-99. He was also a long-time litigation partner at Jenner & Block (1981-94, 2001-09), where he focused on appellate practice.
Professor Sullivan has been a Visiting Professor at the University of Bayreuth (2017, 2018), the inaugural Arthur Cox Visiting Research Fellow and Visiting Professor at Trinity College Dublin (2013), the Fulbright Canada Visiting Research Chair in Legal Studies at the University of Alberta (2011), an academic visitor at the Woodrow Wilson School (2011), a visiting fellow of the University of London (Queen Mary College) (2001), and a Fulbright professor at the University of Warsaw (2000-01). From 2005 to 2009, he was Senior Lecturer at the Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago. He has also lectured frequently at Bocconi University (Milan), the University of Warsaw, and Trinity College Dublin, among other places.
Professor Sullivan has delivered the Jessica Swift Lecture in Constitutional Law at Middlebury College (1991), the Rufus Monroe and Sophie Payne Lecture at the University of Missouri-Columbia (2003), and the Charles L. Ihlenfeld Lecture on Public Policy and Ethics at West Virginia University (2005). In 2015, Professor Sullivan presented a lecture entitled “The United States Supreme Court: Empirical Studies and the Case of Oral Submissions” at the Constitutional Tribunal of Poland.
Professor Sullivan began his legal career as a law clerk to Judge John Minor Wisdom of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans and later served as an Assistant to the Solicitor General of the United States. His scholarly work has appeared in leading journals in the U.S. and Europe, including the Supreme Court Review, the Yale Law Journal, the Northwestern Law Review, the Notre Dame Law Review, and the Dublin University Law Journal. His 2012 article, “FOIA and the First Amendment: Representative Democracy and the People’s Elusive ‘Right to Know,’” 72 Md. L. Rev. 1 (2012), was selected for inclusion in First Amendment Handbook, 2013-14, (Rodney Smolla, ed.), and his 2014 essay, “In This, The Winter of Our Discontent: Legal Practice, Legal Education, and The Culture of Distrust,” 62 Buff. L. Rev. 659 (2014) (with Alfred S. Konefsky), was included in the Green Bag Almanac and Reader 2015 recommended reading.
Professor Sullivan has litigated cases in many state and federal courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States. Among his notable cases is People v. Wilson, 116 Ill. 2d 29 (1987), in which the Illinois Supreme Court reversed a death penalty conviction based on police torture in Area 2 of the Chicago Police Department. He was counsel for the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights under Law as amicus curiae in Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986), and for the American Bar Association as amicus curiae in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, 542 U.S. 507 (2004). He was one of the attorneys for the United States in American Textile Manufacturers Institute v. Donovan, 452 U.S. 490 (1981), and, more recently, argued City of Bridgeton v. Missouri-American Water Co., 219 S.W.3d 226 (Mo. Sup. Ct. 2007), a landmark land-use case. In 2013, Professor Sullivan was one of the attorneys who represented the American Bar Association as amicus curiae in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in Carlos Augosto Rodriguez Vera and Others (Palace of Justice) v. State of Colombia, a human rights case arising out of the November 1985 hostage-taking at the Palace of Justice in Bogota, Colombia.
Professor Sullivan has served on the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Amicus Curiae Briefs, the Standing Committee on Professional Discipline, the Council of the Section of Individual Rights, the Council of the Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice, and the Council of the Section of Legal Education. He was founding chair of the ABA’s Coordinating Committee on AIDS and also served on the executive board and the advisory council of the ABA Center for Human Rights. He currently serves as a director of the Bethlehem University Foundation and as a member of the Advisory Board of the Dublin University Law Journal. Professor Sullivan also has been a member of the Visiting Committees to the Divinity School and the Harris School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago.
Professor Sullivan is a Life Trustee of Catholic Theological Union and previously served as Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees. Upon his retirement from the deanship at Washington and Lee, the faculty created the “Barry Sullivan Award for Excellence in Constitutional Law,” which is awarded annually to the student with the highest standing in constitutional law courses. Professor Sullivan received the Progressives in the Profession Award from the Black Law Students Association of the DePaul University College of Law in 2006 and was named a “Legal Legend” by the Chicago Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society in 2010.
Professor Sullivan is a graduate of Middlebury College and the University of Chicago Law School, a member of the Fellows of Phi Beta Kappa, a member of the Fellows of the American Bar Foundation, and a Life Member of the American Law Institute.
