BiographyMary Anne Case is the Arnold I. Shure Professor of Law at the University of
Chicago Law School and director of the Feminist Theory Project at the University
of Chicago Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality. A graduate of
Yale College and Harvard Law School, she studied at the University
of Munich, litigated for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in
New York City, and was the Class of 1966 Research Professor of Law at the University
of Virginia before joining the Chicago faculty. She was a visiting professor
of law at NYU in 1996–97 and again in 1999; the Bosch Public Policy Fellow
at the American Academy in Berlin in the spring of 2005; and the Crane
