Biography

Solove was born to Leslie and Richard Solove and grew up in Lancaster, PA. He graduated with honors from Washington University in St. Louis in June 1994 with a bachelor's degree in English literature and was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honors society.

In 2005, Solove said that a legal research service marked by the company Westlaw that made it easy to look up the social security numbers of individuals was provided as "the best tool an identity thief can use. It's like giving a murderer the murder weapon or a burglar his burglary tools."

In 2009 Solove argued "that Congress or the Federal Trade Commission should prohibit companies from using SSNs (Social Security Numbers) as a means to verify identity."

In 2011 Tony Doyle wrote in The Journal of Value Inquiry that Solove "has established himself as one of the leading privacy theorists writing in English today."
