Zachary A. Kramer
2004 Teaching Fellow

The Williams Institute welcomes Zachary A. Kramer to the UCLA School of Law as our first Williams Teaching Fellow. The Charles R. Williams Teaching Fellowship is designed to support new scholars interested in teaching and researching sexual orientation law. During the two year fellowship, fellows have an opportunity to write a law review article, teach courses on sexual orientation law, and work closely with Williams Institute faculty and staff.

Mr. Kramer received a B.A. in Behavioral Science and Law (2001) from the University of Wisconsin and a J.D. (2004) from the University of Illinois, where he was editor in chief of the University of Illinois Law Review. At Illinois, Kramer was a Harno Scholar and twice won the College of Law's Larry Travis Bushong Award. The Bushong Award is given each year to the best article on sexual orientation law. In addition, Kramer was the first runner-up in the National Lesbian and Gay Law Association's 2003 Greenberg Writing Competition.

During law school, Kramer completed internships in the Chambers of United States Magistrate Judge David G. Bernthal of the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois (2002) and in the City of Chicago's Law Department (2003). Kramer's areas of research include sexual orientation law, employment discrimination, family law, and legal theory.
