Harvard University (JD)

Peter William Huber (November 3, 1952 – January 8, 2021) was a Canadian-American lawyer and author. He was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and was a founding partner at the law firm of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel. He is credited with popularizing the term "junk science" in 1991, and articulating a conservative approach to environmentalism in his 2000 book, Hard Green: Saving the Environment from the Environmentalists.

Life and career

Huber was born on November 3, 1952, in Toronto, Canada, and grew up in Geneva, Switzerland. He entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at age 17. He received a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering in 1976 at the age of 23 and joined the MIT faculty as a professor, receiving tenure two years later.

While a professor at MIT, Huber began attending Harvard Law School. He was an editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduated in 1982 with a Juris Doctor, summa cum laude. Huber was the only Harvard Law graduate between 1975 and 1996 who received the summa cum laude distinction.

Huber then clerked first for judge (later Supreme Court justice) Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit from 1982 to 1983, and then for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1983 to 1984.{{cite web | access-date = 2009-11-03}}
