On Saturday, August 4, 2024 at the American Bar Association Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, GW Law Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Aram Gavoor, was elected by his peers to serve a three-year term on the Governing Council of the ABA Section of Administrative Law & Regulatory Practice. Gavoor has taught Administrative Law for 10 years at GW Law, initially on the part-time or visiting faculty and now full-time faculty. The ABA Administrative Law Section is the “home for lawyers who work for, interact with, or study government entities” that seeks to “further the vital public interest in effective, efficient and fair administration at all levels of government.”
GW Law Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew said, “We are proud of Aram Gavoor’s election to the ABA Administrative Law Section’s Governing Council. Aram has made an indispensable impact on the GW Law community through his service as an administrator of our academic and curricular functions, a respected scholar, and a beloved professor. I am excited to see his first-of-its-kind Administrative Law Issues & Appeals Clinic thrive in its inaugural offering this coming academic year.”

His co-authored scholarship has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court and has been published in numerous law journals. He has briefed and argued over a dozen high-profile public law cases before a majority of the U.S. Courts of Appeals and numerous cases before almost a third of the 94 U.S. District Courts. Earlier in his career, he served as Senior Counsel for National Security in the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, as third-in-rank Counselor to the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the White House Office of Management and Budget, and in private practice. In recognition of his public service, he was awarded the Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service among other acknowledgments.
