Robert Sitkoff

Robert H. Sitkoff (born 1974) is the John L. Gray Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where he is the only faculty member specializing in trusts and estates ("T&E"). [http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=519000 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Sitkoff To Join HLS Faculty ] ] He previously served as professor of law at New York University School of Law (2006-2007) and Northwestern University School of Law (2000-2006), where he joined at age 26, the youngest on the faculty. Sitkoff's scholarly work focuses on trusts and estates, a field of law with relatively few prominent scholars. He is co-author of "Wills, Trusts, and Estates", the leading trusts and estates casebook in the United States; has published in leading academic journals such as the Yale Law Journal, Columbia Law Review, and the Journal of Law and Economics; has appeared as a commentator on CNN; and has had his work on the effects of the abolition of the rule against perpetuities featured in the Wall Street Journal.

Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan has said that Sitkoff is the "future of the field," and that "Rob Sitkoff is doing the most exciting and important academic work in trust and estates that anyone has seen in years." Sitkoff has received three distinguished teaching awards. Sitkoff was named an "up and coming" lawyer for 2007 by "Lawyer's Weekly".
