Kate Hamilton

Kate rejoined CLC as a litigation counsel in 2024.  She previously served as a legal fellow focused on CLC's efforts to combat election sabotage.  Inspired by that work, she authored an essay in the Yale Law Journal Forum detailing how state compliance with the Electoral Count Reform Act can mitigate the risk of election subversion. 

Kate clerked for the Honorable William J. Kayatta Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.  A Truman Scholar, she graduated from Yale Law School (2022) and Middlebury College (2016).  In law school, she was a Coker Fellow, speechwriter to Dean Heather K. Gerken, and Notes & Comments Editor of the Yale Law Journal.  Prior to law school, she worked on Capitol Hill as a press secretary for a member of Congress and on the team that wrote and produced advertisements for a presidential campaign. She is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia and Maryland.
