Jay Wexler Biography

Jay Wexler (born April 12, 1969) is an American legal scholar who was the first to study laughter at the Supreme Court of the United States. His work also focuses on church-state issues, constitutional law, and environmental law. He is a professor of law at Boston University School of Law.

Wexler’s first collection of short stories takes readers to disparate places: a zoo where all of the animals are black and white, a children’s camp where they have to collect clams, Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearing run by the 1977 Kansas City Royals, and Henry Clay’s advice to various people. The title story about Justice Ed Tuttle trying to pick up women while on vacation was expanded into Wexler’s novel, Tuttle in the Balance.

Wexler earned a B.A., magna cum laude in East Asian Studies from Harvard University in 1991, his M.A. in religious studies from the University of Chicago Divinity School in 1993, and his J.D. from Stanford Law School in 1997, where he was a Notes Editor on the Stanford Law Review and a Semifinalist in the Kirkwood Moot Court competition. After law school, Wexler clerked for Judge David Tatel on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the Supreme Court of the United States. He was an attorney advisor at the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel from 1999 to 2001. Wexler began teaching at Boston University School of Law in 2001 and became a tenured professor in 2007.

In 2005, Wexler’s pioneering research counted the number of times each Supreme Court justice generated laughter in the courtroom, as indicated in the official transcript, as well as each Justice’s “Laughter Episodes Instigated Per Argument Average,” by dividing each justice’s total laughs for the 2004-2005 term by the number of oral arguments he or she attended. This lighthearted inquiry to determine “the relative funniness of the Justices” was replicated by Wexler in 2007. Since then, other scholars have built on these initial studies and seriously examined how laughter is used by the justices at the Supreme Court.

Wexler is a two-time Fulbright Scholar (2007-2008 and 2014-2015), and was selected for the Michael Melton Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2009.
