Stuart Streichler has taught law and politics at the University of Washington and, as a Fulbright scholar, in the Graduate School of Law and the Department of American Studies at Tohoku University in Japan. He also served as an adjunct professor at the Seattle University School of Law, and he held a visiting appointment with the Law and Society Program at the University of California Santa Barbara.

Streichler is the author of Presidential Accountability in Wartime: President Bush, the Treatment of Detainees, and the Laws of War (University of Michigan Press, 2023) and Justice Curtis in the Civil War Era: At the Crossroads of American Constitutionalism (University of Virginia Press, 2005). His articles and essays have been published in journals such as the Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly, the Journal of Law & Politics, and the Michigan Law Review. He has been interviewed by the BBC, CBC's The National, NHK, and the PBS NewsHour, and his commentaries on legal and political issues have appeared in the Boston Review, the Legal Times, and The Nation.

After clerking for Judge R. Lanier Anderson, III of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, Streichler joined O’Melveny & Myers and then Silverstein and Mullens in Washington, DC. His legal practice ranged from constitutional litigation before the U.S. Supreme Court to pro bono representation of indigent criminal defendants. He also provided volunteer legal assistance to the presidential campaigns of Al Gore (1988) and Barack Obama (2008). Streichler received the Bodman-Longley Award in recognition of “exceptional contributions” to the Michigan Law Review, where he was as an article editor.

Ancient Greek epic poetry, Civil War battlefields, and Puccini operas are some of Streichler’s favorite things. He has also enjoyed hiking around the world, from New Zealand’s Routeburn Track to the Cinque Terre coastline in Italy.
