Sara C. Bronin is an American lawyer, professor, and architect based in Hartford, Connecticut.
Bronin graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2001 where she studied architecture and Spanish. She attended Magdalen College at Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship. While there, she co-founded the Oxonian Review and served as its publisher. In 2003, she graduated with a master's degree in economic and social history. She attended Yale Law School and was senior editor of the Yale Law & Policy Review and graduated in 2006.
Bronin is professor of law at the University of Connecticut. Her legal research focuses on property, land use, historic preservation, green building and solar law, and renewable energy law. She argued in the Vanderbilt Law Review in 2012 that a primary obstacle blocking "building-related renewable energy" (BRRE) projects was not siting considerations but legal obstacles preventing developers from allocating renewable energy costs to end users. She is the faculty director for the Center for Energy and Environmental Law at the university. As a lawyer, she is a member of the American Law Institute. She is working to coordinate the land use portion of the forthcoming Fourth Restatement of Property. She is a past president of the Connecticut Hispanic Bar Association. She has served as an expert witness and as a consultant to cities, state agencies, and private firms interested in creating or facilitating places of value. Among other projects, she served as lead attorney and development strategist for the 360 State Street project, a mixed-use, transit-oriented, LEED-Platinum project in New Haven, Connecticut. She studied microgrid efforts around the United States as a means of preventing energy sprawl and handling energy blackouts. She advocated efforts to limit use of water and energy in architectural building standards.
