Bio:
Ahmed White joined the faculty at the Colorado Law School in 2000, after spending three semesters as a visiting professor at Northwestern University Law School. Professor White's interest in legal scholarship and teaching was first developed during his time as a student at Yale Law School and during a two-year research fellowship that followed. Before entering teaching, he served as a legal analyst at the Louisiana State Senate. His scholarship centers on the intersection of labor and criminal law and on the concept of rule of law.
