Sonia Mittal is a Clinical Lecturer in Law and Associate Research Scholar in Law at Yale Law School, where she teaches the Peter Gruber Rule of Law Clinic. Mittal previously served as Senior Counsel and Assistant U.S. Attorney in the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, where she helped oversee one of the largest Department of Justice investigations in history. She also served as a Trial Attorney in the National Criminal Enforcement Section of the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division, where she brought the first charges in the Department’s investigation into criminal price-fixing in the generic pharmaceutical industry. That investigation resulted in in top executive pleas to felony price-fixing charges, charges against or resolutions with seven pharmaceutical companies, and the largest criminal penalty for a domestic cartel. This talk, moderated by Professor Eskridge, will discuss Mittal's career and outlook on the role of the rule of law in national security lawyering.
