Andrew T. Fede ’78 Considers History, Equality and Roads Not Taken

The September 17, 2024 issue of Montclair State University (MSU) Alumni News featured a profile on partner and MSU alum Andrew T. Fede. Deviating from his initial plan to teach social studies, Andy used his history degree as a path to law school – but he circled back, returning to Montclair as an adjunct instructor and authoring several books that merge his love of history with his knowledge of law. For more than 40 years, Andy has maintained a diverse practice focused on several areas, which include appellate litigation, business and governmental civil litigation, municipal law, zoning and planning, real estate tax appeal,  and labor and employment. Since 1986, Andy has been an adjunct professor at MSU, teaching a variety of law courses in the University’s Department of Political Science and Law. In addition, Andy has successfully merged his expertise in law, his desire to educate others, and his love of history through the publication of numerous articles and books exploring the intersection of law, slavery, and race-based inequality in the United States. His newest book is titled, A Degraded Caste of Society: Unequal Protection of the Law as a Badge of Slavery, released by the University of Georgia Press. ...read more
