Rachel E. Barkow (born 1971, née Selinfreund) is a professor of law at the New York University School of Law. She is also director of the Center on the Administration of Criminal Law. Her scholarship focuses on administrative and criminal law, and she is especially interested in applying the lessons and theory of administrative law to the administration of criminal justice.
Barkow graduated from Northwestern University in 1993, and from Harvard Law School in 1996. She clerked for Judge Laurence H. Silberman at the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and for Justice Antonin Scalia at the United States Supreme Court, serving as the "counter-clerk"—the nickname given to the Democrat he hires to sniff out political biases in his arguments.
Barkow is occasionally mentioned as a potential future United States Supreme Court nominee.
She writes as a columnist for the Huffington Post.
