Ross Snyder
Juris Doctor Student, Law
BioRoss Snyder was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Georgetown University with a BA in History and Government in 2020. His research at Georgetown focused on the ways foreign policy influenced government responses to racial inequality in the United States. During his time at Georgetown, Ross was a national finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship, a junior inductee into Phi Beta Kappa, the founder and president of the Georgetown American Civil Liberties Union, closing attorney for the Georgetown Mock Trial A-Team, and the recipient of multiple competitive fellowships -- including the prestigious Presidential Fellowship at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress. After his time at Georgetown, Ross completed an MPhil in Comparative Politics at St. Antony's College, University of Oxford. Under the supervision of Professor Desmond King, Ross completed a thesis on the ways small-scale uses of privilege contribute to the maintenance of racial and economic inequality in American cities. His research was awarded the Sara Norton Prize for the best work on American political institutions by the University of Oxford, and he graduated with distinction marks on his degree, qualifying exams, and thesis -- the highest marks awarded by the University. Ross also served as the founder and head editor of the Graduate Inequality Review while at Oxford, creating a forum for graduate students at the university to share their research on inequality. Ross began his JD at Stanford Law in the fall of 2022 and hopes to use the degree to further explore the intersections between the law and the perpetuation of inequality in the United States. After graduating, Ross hopes to work in public interest, exploring solutions to rising inequality and threats to American democracy.
