Alfred L. Brophy is an American legal scholar. He is retired. He held the Paul and Charlene Jones Chair in law at the University of Alabama from 2017 to 2019.
Brophy was born in Champaign, Illinois.[citation needed] He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a bachelor of arts degree.[1] He earned a J.D. from Columbia University, where he was an editor of the Columbia Law Review, and a Ph.D. from Harvard University, where he held a Woodrow Wilson Foundation Fellowship.[1]
Brophy is the author of several books, co-author of two casebooks, and co-editor of three other volumes. He has been the co-editor of the American Journal of Legal History from 2016 to 2018.[2]
In August 2017, in the wake of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Brophy argued that Confederate monuments should remain, as "removal facilitates forgetting."[3] Though at certain points he has supported renaming of campus buildings and also removal of some monuments, he is generally against removal of monuments and renaming. Instead, he has argued for counter-monuments and for more contextualization of monuments.[4]
