Biography

Daniel Hulsebosch is a legal historian specializing in American Legal History, Constitutional Law, Federal Indian Law, and Property. He teaches courses on American English Legal History and supervises the Legal History Colloquium at NYU School of Law. His scholarship examines the intersection of constitutionalism and imperial expansion in early modern England and the 19th-century United States. His notable work includes the book 'Constituting Empire: New York and the Transformation of Constitutionalism in the Atlantic World, 1664-1830', which delves into the evolution of constitutional law as a genre in the early United States. Hulsebosch is currently co-authoring a book with Professor David Golove titled 'A Civilized Nation: War, Trade, and American Constitution-making, 1774-1816', which examines the founding generation's efforts to reconcile republican governance with reintegration into the Atlantic trade world. Additionally, he directs the Samuel Golieb Fellowship Program at NYU and serves on the editorial board of the American Journal of Legal History.
