    Ted Rossier, J.D.; Ph.D.

    Ted Rossier

    Lecturer

    Phone706-310-6265

    Office locationClassroom (300) Building, 313A, Oconee

    Area(s) of Expertise: Public Law, Interest Groups, Bureaucracy, American Political Development

    Overview

    Ted Rossier, J.D.; Ph.D. received his J.D. from the University of Oklahoma in 1991 and his Ph.D. from the University of Georgia in 2021. He is a former attorney and an Oklahoma “transplant” who came to Georgia to embark on a second career.

    During his 20-year career as a lawyer, he worked in a number of roles in state government including serving as counsel to several different agencies and as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Oklahoma. While in private practice, he spent much of his time defending county and municipal governments in civil rights and employment discrimination cases. Though he enjoyed public and administrative law, his passion for teaching and overtly intellectual pursuits kept surfacing, and eventually took over.

    Education

    • J.D., University of Oklahoma, 1991

    Research/Special Interests

    His research and teaching interests include the intersection of law and courts with public policy, particularly as it relates to interest groups and Constitutional cases. He also studies federal and state bureaucracies and administrative law.

    Personal Information

    When he is not teaching or doing research, Dr. Rossier is an avid chess player and college football fan (Sooners and Dawgs of course). His wife is Professor Leslie Davidson-Rossier, who works in the Department of Mathematics on UNG’s Oconee campus. They enjoy traveling, especially in their new adopted home state (along with the occasional trip to Hilton Head).
