We are thrilled to announce that longtime Just Security contributor Mark Nevitt is now joining Just Security’s Editorial Board.
Nevitt, Commander, JAGC (ret.), is an Associate Professor of Law at Emory University School of Law. He was previously the Class of 1971 Distinguished Military Professor of Leadership & Law at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, Associate Professor at Syracuse University College of Law, and the Sharswood Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Prior to law school, Nevitt served as an accomplished naval tactical jet aviator and was awarded the Air Medal. After completing a J.D. and LL.M. with distinction from Georgetown, his Navy JAG assignments included serving as criminal defense counsel in Lemoore, California; international law and ethics attorney with the U.S. Navy’s Sixth Fleet in Naples, Italy; Deputy Director for Administrative Law for the Office of the Judge Advocate General at the Pentagon; and the Department of Defense’s Regional Environmental Counsel in Norfolk, Virginia.
Today, Nevitt works, teaches, and publishes widely on emerging legal and policy issues, particularly at the intersection of environmental law, climate change, and national security as well as on legal issues governing the domestic use of the U.S. military.
In addition to his scholarship, he has contributed to Just Security’s growing content in these areas, including by promoting the work of global voices and emerging scholars. We are delighted for him to continue to share his expertise as a member of our outstanding Editorial Board.
