Education
Bradford graduated
summa cum laude from the
University of Miami School of Law, where he served as project editor of the
University of Miami Law Review and was a member of the
Order of the Coif. He also received an LL.M. from
Harvard University and a Ph.D. from

His doctoral thesis was "United States foreign policy decision-making in Arab-Israeli crises: The association of United States presidential personality constructs with political and military crisis outcomes", 1995 (AAT 9537394)
Teaching at Indiana University
Bradford joined the faculty of
Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis in the fall of 2002 after serving in the
Army Reserve. He also served at the War Gaming and Simulation Center,
National Defense University,
Fort McNair,
Virginia, and was an adviser to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Shalikashvili. At Indiana University, he specialized in teaching
international law, federal Indian law, property, national security/foreign relations law, and the laws of armed conflict.
Bradford has authored at least twenty law review articles on international law, the laws of war, and federal Indian law. One of his more recent articles was published in the
Notre Dame Law Review, v. 79, (2004), titled, "The Duty to Defend Them: A Natural Legal Justification of the Bush Doctrine of Preventative War". He is also a frequent commentator in local and national media on laws of war issues regarding
Iraq and the
War on Terror. For instance, on
December 16,
2003, he was the top guest on
The Big Story With John Gibson, commenting on the tactics interrogators were likely to use on the just-captured
Saddam Hussein. He was named a Dean's Fellow in recognition of scholarly excellence in both 2004-2005 and 2005-2006, and was voted Best New Professor by Indiana Law students in 2005.
Before resigning from Indiana University (see below), he was one of fewer than fifteen tenured or tenure-track academic legal faculty members of
American Indian origin in the U.S.
Tenure controversy
In
2005 Bradford accused Professor
Florence Roisman of opposing his
tenure because of some of his conservative views. The official reason given was that Prof. Bradford was "uncollegial." The feud became a national one when
Fox News and
FrontPage magazine.com, among others, continually reported on the controversy. Bradford claimed that his support of the
Iraq War and his refusal to sign a letter in defense of
Ward Churchill were contributing factors. "The presumption was that I've got to sign this thing because I'm an Indian, but I can't do that," he said. Roisman has denied most of Bradford's claims and school administrators pointed out that Bradford never actually applied for
tenure. Instead there was simply a
straw poll to determine his possible future tenure: the vote was 10-5 in favor, which meant that five professors believed that Mr. Bradford had a low probability of receiving tenure. He didn't get the unanimous votes his tenured colleagues typically received. Although unanimity isn't required for a faculty to award tenure, such a significant dissent would normally block it.
Resignation
On
December 2,
2005, Susanah Mead, interim dean of the law school, released the following statement: "Professor William Bradford has resigned his position as associate professor at the IU School of Law – Indianapolis effective January 1, 2006 to pursue other employment opportunities and interests."
Future after Indiana
In the fall of
2005 Bradford served as a visiting professor at the
College of William and Mary; at this time his profile said he was an Associate Judge Pro Tempore, Court of Appeals, for the Fort Sill
Apache Nation.
