Nicholas Parrillo
Associate Professor of Law
Nicholas Parrillo is Associate Professor of Law at Yale. He teaches administrative law, legislation, and American legal history, as well as seminars on privatization and public management. He has published articles on the U.S. government's use of privateers during the 19th century and on its relationship to its contractors during World War II. He is writing a book, Against the Profit Motive: The Transformation of American Government, 1780-1940 (forthcoming with Yale University Press), about how American lawmakers remade governance by shifting public officers’ monetary compensation away from profit-seeking arrangements -- such as fees-for-service and bounties -- and toward fixed salaries. A member of the New York bar, Professor Parrillo holds a J.D. from Yale and an A.B. from Harvard, was a recipient of the NYU Golieb Fellowship in Legal History and of Yale's Whiting Fellowship in the Humanities, and served as a clerk to Judge Stephen F. Williams of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
