Michael Selmi joined the George Washington University Law School faculty in 1996, having taught previously at the University of North Carolina.

He has published widely in the areas of employment discrimination and employment law, and constitutional law, including a number of empirical projects evaluating the impact of litigation. Professor Selmi recently completed a term as a mayoral appointee to the Citizen Complaint Review Board, an agency that provides civilian oversight of the police department in Washington, DC. A previous distinguished visiting professor for the 2002–2003 academic year, Professor Selmi is teaching courses on constitutional law and civil rights legislation while at Suffolk University Law School. Professor Selmi received his BA from Stanford University and his JD, magna cum laude, from Harvard University.
