Heritage Foundation Leadership for America

Andrew M. Grossman, as The Heritage Foundation's Senior Legal Policy Analyst, focuses his research on law and finance, bankruptcy, national security law, and the constitutional issue of separation of powers.

Grossman also has written and published research on criminal law and "overcriminalization," constitutional law, civil liberties and privacy, domestic intelligence operations, the legal aspects of economic regulation, and civil justice reform.

Grossman previously was a writer, editor and general analyst at Heritage, contributing to research programs in domestic and economic policy, foreign policy and legal affairs. He joined the think tank in 2003.

His work has been published or cited in dozens of newspapers and magazines, from USA Today to McSweeney's to the socialist Modern Times, as well as journals and professional publications. A frequent commentator on television and radio, he has testified before the Senate and House Judiciary committees.

In 2007, the Burton Foundation and the Library of Congress presented Grossman with the Burton Award for Legal Achievement, citing his research on federal evidentiary law and Internet communications technologies.

Grossman is a graduate of the George Mason University School of Law, where he received the Adrian S. Fischer Award for Student Research and the Betty Southard Murphy Award for Constitutional Law. He served as senior articles editor of George Mason Law Review.

He received his master's degree in government from the University of Pennsylvania and his bachelor's degree in economics and anthropology from Dartmouth College, where he edited The Dartmouth Review.

Grossman, who lives in Washington, looks forward to free time spent sailing and sampling the region's ethnic dining options with his fiancee.
