A Notre Dame law professor has been appointed deputy general
counsel to President Bush.
William K. Kelley, associate professor, has been a member of
the Law School faculty since 1995. He will be on leave during
his service to the president.
In the 1980s Kelley clerked for Judge Kenneth W. Starr on the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and then for
Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and Associate Justice Antonin Scalia
on the Supreme Court.
Kelley specializes in administrative and constitutional law.
He is the second Notre Dame Law School professor to serve this
