Luedeman’s scholarship centers on civil rights, discrimination, gender and sexuality, procedure, and the functioning of courts. He serves on the programming committee of the AALS Section on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Issues. He is also a member of the legal writing community, following pedagogical developments in the field and serving on the awards committee for the AALS Section on Legal Writing, Reasoning, and Research. Supplementing his scholarly work, Luedeman has taken on several pro bono projects while in academia, including successfully appealing the dismissal of a client’s civil rights claims in federal court.
