Jeffrey A. Brauch, J.D.

Bio

Since joining Regent Law in 1994, Professor Jeff Brauch has served as a faculty member — teaching Foundations of Law, International Human Rights, International Religious Freedom, and Torts, among other courses — and Dean, leading the School of Law from 2000 to 2015. In 2010, he helped create Regent’s Center for Global Justice® and now serves as the Center’s Founding Director.

Prior to teaching, he served as a Law Clerk for Justice William Callow of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and then worked as an Associate with Milwaukee law firm Quarles & Brady, where he specialized in commercial litigation.

Professor Brauch and his wife, Becky, have four adult children and four grandchildren. They attend New Covenant Presbyterian Church, where he is an elder. He loves history, the music of Beethoven, and the Green Bay Packers — not necessarily in that order.
