Kip M. Hustace serves as Assistant Professor of Law at Seattle University School of Law, teaching torts, civil procedure, civil rights, legal theory, Indigenous peoples law, and the law of democracy. His research centers on neorepublican legal theory, examining freedom as nondomination and democratic accountability across public and private legal domains.
His academic credentials include:
- BA in English with Interdisciplinary Honors in Ethics in Society from Stanford University (2011)
- Juris Doctor (JD) from Stanford University (2015)
- Master of Laws (LLM) in General Law from the University of Washington School of Law (2021)
Hustace's scholarly work integrates law with literature, history, philosophy, and Indigenous studies to advance neorepublican frameworks. He has pioneered applications in Indigenous legal futurisms and kanaka ‘ōiwi legal history, while analyzing antidomination principles in education rights and democratic systems. His interdisciplinary methodology bridges legal theory with critical humanities perspectives.
Recent publications demonstrate a cohesive trend toward contextualizing neorepublican theory within civil rights and Indigenous legal traditions. Articles address doctrinal expansion in legal systems, republican foundations of education rights, and indigenized interpretations of legal republicanism—reflecting his commitment to liberation-focused jurisprudence and systemic accountability.
Prior to his current appointment, Hustace was Visiting Assistant Professor at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, teaching education law and professional responsibility. He previously litigated education and voting rights cases as a staff attorney for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund in Los Angeles.
