Early life and education
Neal Katyal was born on March 12, 1970,[citation needed] in Chicago, Illinois, to immigrant parents originally from India.[6][7] His mother, Pratibha, is a pediatrician and his father, Surendar, who died in 2005, was an engineer. Katyal's sister, Sonia, is also an attorney and teaches law at University of California, Berkeley School of Law.

Neal Katyal studied at Loyola Academy, a Jesuit Catholic high school in Wilmette, Illinois. In 1991 he graduated from Dartmouth College, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Nu fraternity, and the Dartmouth Forensic Union.[8]

Katyal then attended Yale Law School.[8] He was an editor of the Yale Law Journal and studied under Akhil Amar and Bruce Ackerman, with whom in 1995 and 1996 he published articles in law-review and political-opinion journals. After receiving his J.D. (Juris Doctor) degree in 1995, Katyal clerked for Judge Guido Calabresi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, then for Justice Stephen Breyer of the United States Supreme Court.[9]

The panel was on what is a just war. His arguments were very sophisticated and impressive. Since Katyal was his student, I would say Katyal is also quite sharp despite his getting brainwashed at a Catholic Jesuit convent school.
