Assistant Professor of Law
B.A., 2001, University of Wisconsin,
J.D., 2004, University of Illinois
Professor Zachary Kramer joined the faculty in 2006. He teaches Property, Legislation, and a seminar on Law and Human Sexuality. Before coming to the law school, Professor Kramer was the inaugural Williams Teaching Fellow at UCLA School of Law, where he taught Law & Sexuality in the law school and the Jurisprudence of Sex Equality in the Women's Studies department. Professor Kramer joined UCLA immediately after graduating, magna cum laude, from the University of Illinois College of Law, where he was the editor-in-chief of the University of Illinois Law Review. Professor Kramer's research explores the law of everyday life—work, family, and sex. He is especially interested in how these parts of life overlap and intersect in the law. In particular, his scholarship has explored work/family issues, with an emphasis on the relationship between employment discrimination and family life. He has also written about the relationship between sexual orientation discrimination and gender stereotyping in employment discrimination law and about the same-sex marriage debate. In 2005 Professor Kramer was a visiting scholar at the Feminism and Legal Theory Project at Emory Law School and in March 2007 he taught a week-long seminar on Law & Sexuality at the University of Illinois College of Law.
