Edward Levi (June 26, 1911 – March 7, 2000) was an American legal scholar and academic. He served as the 5th dean of the University of Chicago Law School from 1950 to 1962, as the 8th president of the University of Chicago from 1968 to 1975, and then as United States Attorney General from 1975 to 1977 under President Gerald Ford.
Levi is regularly cited as the “model of a modern attorney general”, the “greatest lawyer of his time”, and is credited with restoring order after Watergate. He is considered, along with Yale’s Whitney Griswold, the greatest of postwar American university presidents.
