Early life[]

Education[]
Kronman received his B.A. from Williams College in 1968, Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale University in 1972, and J.D. from Yale Law School in 1975.[2] He was an editor of the Yale Law Journal when he studied at Yale Law School.[2]

He taught at the University of Minnesota Law School from 1975 to 1976, and the University of Chicago Law School from 1976 to 1978, before joining the Yale faculty.[2] In addition to the courses that Kronman teaches at Yale Law School, he also teaches undergraduate classes in literature, philosophy, and history and politics as part of the Directed Studies program at Yale.[4] Outside of his academic obligations, Kronman is of counsel at the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner.[5]
He recently published a book, Education's End, which is a summary of the disarray of the U.S. higher education system especially in regard to the question of the meaning of life.[6]
