John (Jack) Boeglin

Jack Boeglin studies law and technology, regulatory federalism, and the federal courts. His current research focuses on the legal implications of the “alignment question” — how artificial intelligence systems can be trained to understand and act in accordance with human values and intentions.

Boeglin has published on the jurisprudential practices of the federal courts in the Yale Law Journal and the Virginia Law Review, on the practice of differential punishment in the criminal legal system in the Vanderbilt Law Review, and on the regulation of self-driving cars in the Yale Journal of Law & Technology.

Prior to joining Penn Carey Law, Boeglin worked as an appellate litigator and tech regulation practitioner at an international law firm in London, U.K., and Washington, D.C. He has served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, as well as Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the Honorable Guido Calabresi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Boeglin earned his JD from Yale Law School and his BA from Brown University.
