Wayne Unger is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Law and Fellow with the Center for Law, Ethics and Commerce at Gonzaga University School of Law. Before joining the Gonzaga law faculty in 2021, Professor Unger taught at and held an appointment as an Executive Education Academic Associate for Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business.

Professor Unger’s research and writing focus on intersection of constitutional law, emerging technologies, and civil rights. More specifically, Professor Unger looks at the erosion of civil rights, liberties, and democracy as technology advances, and he explores how the erosion occurs and what we can do about it. His scholarship has been published in the Columbia Science & Technology Law Review, the Richmond Journal of Law & Technology, and the Hastings Science & Technology Law Journal. Prior to entering academia, Professor Unger started his own law firm in Arizona where he practiced business law and civil litigation and served as Of Counsel for Gilson Daub.

Before law school, he worked in Silicon Valley where he managed multimillion dollar corporate transformation initiatives for Cisco Systems; directed sales for the financial services and technology industry segments for a SaaS startup (acquired by LexisNexis Risk Solutions for $480M in 2020); and led strategic partnerships and account management for a second startup. Professor Unger holds a J.D. and a B.S. in Supply Chain Management from Arizona State University.
