Lisa Bernstein

In 1986, Bernstein earned a BA in economics from the University of Chicago, where she was Phi Beta Kappa, then a JD from Harvard Law School in 1990. At Harvard she was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economic, receiving a stipend and faculty mentorship to write a research paper in the field.{{Cite web|last=Stern|first=Seth|date=August 16, 2010|title=The Olin Advantage|url=https://today.law.harvard.edu/the-olin-advantage/|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=December 22, 2020|website=Harvard Law Today|language=en-US}} She credits this opportunity with launching her academic career, as the resulting paper distinguished her in the pool of applicants for her first academic post.

Bernstein was on faculty at Boston University (beginning in 1991) and Georgetown University (beginning in 1995) before joining the University of Chicago faculty in 1998.{{Cite web|url=https://fedsoc.org/contributors/lisa-bernstein|title=Lisa Bernstein {{!}} The Federalist Society|website=fedsoc.org|access-date=August 12, 2018}} She is Wilson-Dickinson Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School.{{cite web|title=Lisa Bernstein|url=https://www.law.uchicago.edu/faculty/bernstein|access-date=February 7, 2018|website=law.uchicago.edu|publisher=University of Chicago Law School|language=en}}
