John Harland Giammatteo

John Harland Giammatteo researches the intersections between civil procedure, federal courts, and administrative law. His scholarship engages with two primary areas. First, he studies access to courts and rightsclaiming, with a particular emphasis on barriers to federal litigation. Second, he undertakes ethnographic studies of court-like procedures used by mass adjudicatory agencies. Giammatteo’s writing has been published or is forthcoming in the California Law Review, New York University Law Review Online, and the International Journal of Refugee Law, among other academic journals and periodicals.

Giammatteo joined the School of Law faculty following a clinical teaching fellowship at Georgetown University Law Center, where he taught in the Civil Litigation Clinic and supervised students in a wide range of civil litigation matters. Before teaching at Georgetown, Giammatteo represented asylum seekers and noncitizens at Lutheran Social Services of New York’s Immigration Legal Program as a Justice Catalyst and Liman Fellow. He also clerked for the Honorable Gerard E. Lynch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and for the Honorable Victor A. Bolden of the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut

Giammatteo is a 2017 graduate of the Yale Law School. He holds master’s degrees from SOAS and City University in London, where he studied as a Marshall Scholar. Giammatteo graduated from Syracuse University with a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Magazine Journalism.
