Michael Dreeben, a former longtime U.S. deputy solicitor general who is widely considered a leading authority on criminal law, will join Georgetown University Law Center in Washington as a distinguished lecturer in government for the 2019-20 academic year.

“In his 30 years of extraordinary public service at the U.S. Department of Justice, Michael Dreeben played a powerful role in helping shape the law as one of the preeminent Supreme Court advocates and as a leading expert in federal criminal law,” said Georgetown Law Dean William M. Treanor. “We are honored to have him join our faculty for the upcoming school year.”
