Thomas Berg is the James L. Oberstar Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Minneapolis. He teaches and writes on religious liberty, constitutional law, and intellectual property, and supervises students in the school’s religious liberty appellate clinic, which files briefs in cases before the US Supreme Court and appellate courts.

Berg has degrees from the University of Chicago, in both law and religious studies; from Oxford University, in philosophy and politics (as a Rhodes Scholar); and from Northwestern University, in journalism.
