Dean Van Zandt graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University with a degree in sociology. He completed his Juris Doctor (J.D.) at Yale University, where he served as managing editor for the Yale Law Journal, and earned his Ph.D. in sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

He clerked for Judge Pierre N. Leval in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and Justice Harry Blackmun of the United States Supreme Court from 1982-83. He also was an associate with Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York.

David E. Van Zandt joined Northwestern University faculty in 1985 and became Dean in 1995. He is the second longest serving law dean in Northwestern history.

Personal life

David was born and raised in New Jersey by his parents Edgar and Edna Van Zandt along with his three siblings Mary, Shirley, and Tom. A 10th generation American, he was born on the farm that his family had operated for generations. His father and grandfather, Edgar and Percy Van Zandt, were the first to break the farming mold and sold tractors for International Harvester. Having obtained some of the strict, hard-working attitude from his father, David excelled in his youth and was the valedictorian of his high school. In the late 1980s, he married Lisa Huestis, a friend and lawyer. The couple have two children. They moved to Chicago when David was offered a job as a professor at Northwestern Law. After being named the 8th president of the New School, David and his family moved to New York in the beginning of 2011.
