Nicholas Stephanopoulos is an American legal scholar who is the Kirkland & Ellis Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.[1] His scholarship primarily focuses on election law, constitutional law, and the interplay between law and democracy.[1] Recognized as a leading expert in election law, his work has been cited numerous times by the United States Supreme Court.[2][3][4] He has contributed significantly to the study of partisan gerrymandering and is a co-founder of PlanScore, a platform for evaluating district plans.[5] He co-invented the efficiency gap, a metric used to measure potential gerrymandering in electoral systems, which quantifies the fairness of districting by calculating wasted votes.
In October 2022, Stephanopoulos was elected to the American Law Institute.[6]
