JSD Candidate

Luis Eugenio García-Huidobro is a J.S.D. candidate at the Law School, where he also obtained an LL.M. degree in 2017 as a Fulbright Scholar. Eugenio’s research focuses on comparative administrative law and institutional design in Latin America, with particular emphasis on the public sector reforms implemented throughout the region during the last decades. In his dissertation, he explores the role that civil servants and other institutional actors have played in the implementation of Latin American civil services by contesting the informal spoils systems and other forms of patronage.

In 2017-2018, Eugenio was the Fox Visiting Fellow at the Australian National University (School of Regulation and Global Governance). Before coming to Yale, Eugenio taught at the Catholic University of Chile Law School and was also a practicing lawyer in one Latin America’s largest law firms, where he sponsored and argued several cases before the Chilean Supreme Court. His publications include more than a dozen articles and book chapters.
