Rosa Brooks is a law professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, where she also serves as Director of Georgetown Law School’s Human Rights Center. In April 2009, Brooks was appointed senior advisor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Michele Flournoy.

Brooks’ recent scholarly work has focused on terrorism and rule of law issues, international law, human rights, law of war, and failed states. Along with Jane Stromseth and David Wippman, Brooks coauthored Can Might Make Rights? Building the Rule of Law After Military Interventions[1] (2006), a book which helped shape the United States Army’s praxis of rule of law. Brooks is also the author of numerous scholarly articles published in law reviews.[2][3][4]

In 1991 Brooks earned a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University, where she studied history and literature;[5] while an undergraduate at Harvard, Brooks served as president of the Phillips Brooks House Association. At Oxford University she was awarded a Master of Studies degree in social anthropology in 1993[5], and was a Marshall Scholar.
