Kim Wehle Profile
Kimberly Wehle is a tenured law professor, book author, opinion journalist, lawyer, and former CBS News legal analyst. At the University of Baltimore School of Law, her teaching and scholarship focus on the separation of powers, administrative agencies, and civil litigation. In addition to her scholarly work, Wehle is a practicing lawyer and provides frequent legal commentary for CNN, MSNBC, NBC, BBC, NPR, Fox News, and numerous other media outlets. She writes regularly for The Atlantic, Politico, The Hill, and The Bulwark, among other leading publications. She added “author” to her resume with her first book, How to Read the Constitution—and Why. It was quickly followed by her release, What You Need to Know about Voting—and Why. Then she released How to Think Like a Lawyer and Why: A Common-Sense Guide to Everyday Dilemmas.
As the law and the Constitution move to the forefront of the national conversation in unprecedented ways, it can be overwhelming or confusing for some. But Wehle believes it is paramount that the public understands the foundation of our country – our constitutional rights and the limits on government – in order to appreciate what’s at stake. To that end, she is passionate about sharing why we each must be engaged in protecting our democracy and has become a national voice of expertise and reason on this subject. With her years of teaching experience and an impressive resume as a practicing lawyer, Wehle breaks down the latest political and legal debates to audiences of all ages, political parties, and backgrounds. But almost more importantly, she imparts to her audiences the most crucial piece of the puzzle: why each one of us should care about these issues.
Wehle was the recipient of the prestigious Board of Regents Faculty Award for the University of Maryland for excellence in scholarship, research, and creative activity—the highest honor presented by the USM system to faculty members. She also served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Washington, D.C., and Associate Independent Counsel in the Whitewater Investigation.
Wehle is active on social media and has a popular IGTV show on Instagram and YouTube called #SimplePolitics. In this video series, she offers digestible translations of the latest political, legal and international news with notable guests, including US Senators, TV news analysts, authors, and prominent journalists.
