On April 9, Harvard Law School welcomed Elizabeth Prelogar ’08, the Steven and Maureen Klinsky Visiting Professor of Practice for Leadership and Progress, for a fireside chat with Andrew Manuel Crespo ’08, the Morris Wasserstein Public Interest Professor of Law. As the 48th Solicitor General of the United States, she was the fourth-ranking individual at the Department of Justice and was responsible for conducting and supervising all Supreme Court litigation on behalf of the United States. Prelogar has argued over 30 cases in the Supreme Court and previously served in multiple roles at the Department of Justice.
Endowed in 2013 by Steven Klinsky J.D. ’81 M.B.A. ’79, and his wife, Maureen Klinsky, the Steven and Maureen Klinsky Professorship of Practice for Leadership and Progress — the first endowed professorship of practice established at Harvard Law School — was designed to bring visiting leaders from a wide range of fields beyond law to campus to teach and bring inspiration and broad perspective to the school and, more generally, to Harvard University.
