Siobhan Mukerji Barco is a Climenko Fellow and Lecturer at Harvard Law School, where she teaches and conducts research in property law, contract law, American legal history, and labor and employment law. Her research focuses on the previously overlooked role of legal newspapers in the development of modern American law, revealing that the legal news of the late nineteenth century served as a key source of legal authority and a conduit for the dissemination of legal ideas. By shifting perspectives on newspapers, her work highlights the diversity and complexity of the legal profession, including the roles of women and marginalized groups within it. In addition to her academic endeavors, Siobhan produces and hosts the American Society for Legal History's Talking Legal History podcast and actively participates in advocacy research committees with the National Association of Women Lawyers. Siobhan is currently a Ph.D. candidate in History at Princeton University and holds a J.D. from the University of North Carolina School of Law. Before entering academia, she practiced as an attorney in a civil litigation firm, representing both plaintiffs and defendants.
