Stephen Henderson
Judge Haskell A. Holloman Professor of Law, University of Oklahoma
B.S. Electrical Engineering, '95.
Professor Henderson’s work broadly engages with the substantive criminal law, the regulation of policing, and our systems of criminal adjudication, including the intersections of those fields with modern technologies—he was, many moons ago, awarded the College of Engineering Medal for most outstanding graduate at the University of California, Davis, and in 2024 he was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award from their Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. An elected member of the American Law Institute, he has done drafting work for the American Bar Association (Law Enforcement Access to Third Party Records, Reporter) and the Uniform Law Commission (Computer Crime, Co-Reporter); he co-edited The Cambridge Handbook of Surveillance Law; and he has served on various committees working with technologies from fingerprinting and blood spatter, to drone flight, to body cameras, to generative AI.
More generally, Professor Henderson enjoys speaking, teaching, and collaborating; he’ll sometimes publish on topics like vigilantism because they involve folks like Daredevil, Punisher, and Zorro; and he enjoys pondering everything from 80s music to the writing of Robertson Davies to the philosophy of world religions. When he’s not doing any of this, he’s likely spending time with his soulmate, Hilary, and/or their five kids. While their band Sheep Without Rights might be on permanent hiatus, its spirit will always live on.
