Overview
Marc Elias is a Hamilton College alumnus (B.A., Hamilton College) who became a prominent election law attorney, known for representing Democratic candidates and parties in voting rights and election litigation. He holds an M.A. and J.D. from Duke University. He later returned to Hamilton in a teaching capacity as Distinguished Lecturer in American Public Policy and Practice.
Relevance to Research
The 2007–08 catalog lists him under “Special Appointments” in the government department, paired with Timothy Lehmann. The 2011–12 catalog lists him as Distinguished Lecturer in American Public Policy and Practice with credentials: B.A., Hamilton College; M.A., Duke University; J.D., Duke University School of Law. The 2013–14 and 2014–15 catalogs repeat this listing with the same title and credentials (the 2013–14 version spells out “B.A., Hamilton College” while the 2014–15 uses “A.B., Hamilton College”).
Notes
His appointment as Distinguished Lecturer spans at least the period from 2007–08 through 2014–15 based on the corpus. The credential listing confirms his Hamilton undergraduate degree.
