Mr. Hutt has specialized in food and drug law at the Washington D.C. firm of Covington and Burling since 1960, pausing only to serve as Chief Counsel of the FDA from 1971 to 1975. A prodigious writer, he is co-author of the Food and Drug Law: Cases and Materials. He has also taught Food and Drug Law at Harvard Law School since 1994.
