Philip Hamburger

Philip Hamburger is a prominent legal scholar and professor at Columbia Law School, known for his work on constitutional law, administrative law, and the historical foundations of legal principles in the United States. He is the founder of the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), a non-profit organization aimed at defending civil liberties and challenging government overreach, particularly in the context of economic regulations and administrative actions. In recent news, Hamburger and the NCLA were involved in a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, arguing that his imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods exceeded his legal authority.
