Who Is G.T. Hunt?

Gaillard T. Hunt is admitted to the U.S. Tax Court, the U.S. Supreme Court, and various other Federal courts. He has recently put much time and effort into a litigation over an LLC, a Limited Liability Company, one of the new hybrid entities created to take advantage of the tax laws. He is also deeply involved with the problem of Social Security numbers, and the government's attempt to deny them to legally admitted aliens.

He graduated from Archbishop Carroll High School in D.C., attended Georgetown and the University of Chicago, and received his law degree from Columbia Law School in 1965. He litigated Selective Service and military cases during the Vietnam era. Some of his papers from this experience are in the Swarthmore College Peace Collection.

Search engines confuse Gaillard T. Hunt with his grandfather Gaillard Hunt (1862-1924). The grandfather edited the papers of James Madison and his name has recently started appearing in citations in the endless disputes about separation of church and state. Hunt's father, Gaillard Hunt, Jr. (1903-1949) left behind a novel which Hunt has published on this web site in honor of the centennial of the author's birth.

Hunt is a member of the District of Columbia Bar (and inactive in the New York Bar). He lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with his wife, Susan Hunt, and his daughter, Emma Hunt, who recently graduated from Tulane.
