Hannah Bloch-Wehba grew up in New York City, immersed in the debates surrounding the role of law in shaping the nation's response to the September 11 attacks. During college, she studied history to understand how crises affect liberty, equality, and the rule of law. She initially worked as a fact-checker and considered a writing career, but her passion for history and journalism led her to study law to empower people and address abuses. She enjoys engaging students in the classroom, helping them navigate complicated legal doctrines and competing values. Her teaching aims to spark excitement in students as they explore their interests and challenges within law, informed by their personal experiences. After law school, she received a post-graduate DAAD Fellowship to study international relations in Germany, while also working as a freelance editor and translator. In her career, she practiced law in Houston and served as a legal fellow at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, focusing primarily on law enforcement and national security. Bloch-Wehba emphasizes that a good lawyer should not only know the rules but also understand the underlying forces that influence the evolution of those rules.
