Jay N. Krehbiel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University at Buffalo. His research lies at the intersection of comparative politics, judicial politics, and public opinion, with a focus on public support for courts – domestic and international – and its effects on judicial behavior. This has led to work on several topics, including the decision making of European constitutional courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union, public support for the rule of law, and the dynamics of public support for courts among Indigenous peoples. His work has appeared in outlets such as the American Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, the British Journal of Political Science, International Organization, and with Cambridge University Press’s Comparative Constitutional Law and Policy Book Series. He received his PhD and MA from Washington University in St. Louis and his BA from Drury University. Prior to joining the faculty at UB in 2024, Professor Krehbiel was a member of the political science department at West Virginia University.
