Troy McKenzie

Troy McKenzie ’00 joined the faculty of NYU School of Law in 2007. His scholarly interests include bankruptcy, civil procedure, complex litigation, and the federal courts. His work explores litigation and the institutions that shape it—particularly complex litigation that is resolved through the class action, bankruptcy, and other forms of aggregation. McKenzie returned to NYU Law in 2017 after serving for two years as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel at the US Department of Justice. He earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Princeton University and his law degree from NYU Law. After graduation, he clerked for Judge Pierre N. Leval of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and Justice John Paul Stevens of the US Supreme Court. Before joining the faculty, McKenzie was an associate in the New York office of Debevoise & Plimpton. At the end of his first year of teaching at the Law School, McKenzie was honored with the Albert Podell Distinguished Teaching Award for outstanding achievement in the classroom.
