Arthur D. Hellman
Professor of Law Emeritus
University of Pittsburgh School of Law
Professor Arthur D. Hellman has achieved a national reputation as a scholar of the federal courts. He does more than write about the subject; he has also influenced the development of the law in three separate areas: the jurisdiction of the federal courts, the regulation of ethics in the federal judiciary, and the structure of the federal appellate system.
Professor Hellman has worked with the Judiciary Committees in the House and Senate in drafting federal courts legislation. The legislative histories of two major jurisdictional statutes � the Federal Courts Jurisdiction and Venue Clarification Act of 2011 and the �Holmes Group Fix� (enacted as part of the America Invents Act) � acknowledge his contributions.
In addition to his drafting work, Professor Hellman has testified as an invited witness at numerous hearings of both Judiciary Committees. His testimony has focused on a wide variety of legislative issues related to the federal courts, including the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court; proposals to divide the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals; federal judicial discipline; unpublished appellate opinions; and the constitutionality of legislative restrictions on the powers of the federal courts.
Professor Hellman is one of the leading academic commentators on issues of federal judicial ethics. He also received public recognition from leading members of the House Judiciary Committee for his work in helping to draft the Judicial Improvements Act of 2002, the current version of the law that governs the handling of misconduct complaints against federal judges. His suggestions were also incorporated into successive revisions of the Rules for Judicial-Conduct and Judicial-Disability Proceedings.
Professor Hellman is the nation's leading academic authority on the largest of the federal appellate courts, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. From 1999 through 2001 he served on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Evaluation Committee � the only academic on the committee. A decade earlier, he supervised a distinguished group of legal scholars and political scientists in analyzing the innovations of the Ninth Circuit and its court of appeals.
Professor Hellman�s publications include numerous articles and several books, including two casebooks, Federal Courts: Cases and Materials on Judicial Federalism and the Lawyering Process (4th edition 2017) (with David Stras, Ryan Scott, and F. Andrew Hessick); and First Amendment Law: Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion (4th edition 2018) (with William D. Araiza, Thomas E. Baker, and Ashutosh A. Bhagwat). Both are published by Carolina Academic Press.
In 2005 Professor Hellman was appointed as the inaugural holder of the Sally Ann Semenko Endowed Chair at the University. In 2002 he received the Chancellor�s Distinguished Research Award �as a faculty member who has an outstanding and continuing record of research and scholarly activity.�
Before joining the Pitt Law faculty, Professor Hellman was deputy executive director of the Commission on Revision of the Federal Court Appellate System (Hruska Commission). He received his JD from Yale University Law School and his BA from Harvard University.
