Michigan Law School Professor Nicholas Bagley is among 22 newly elected members of the American Law Institute (ALI), one of the most prestigious distinctions for judges, lawyers, and academics.
Bagley, the Thomas G. Long Professor of Law, is an expert in administrative law and health law. He’s currently writing a book, tentatively titled, “Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” (Norton, 2026), that documents how administrative law has become an impediment to progress in the United States.
In 2020 and 2022, Bagley served as special counsel and then chief legal counsel to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. His academic work has been published widely, including in Harvard Law Review and Columbia Law Review, and he contributes frequently to popular outlets, including The New York Times and The Atlantic.
Before joining Michigan Law, Bagley was an attorney with the appellate staff in the Civil Division at the U.S. Department of Justice.
