Andreas L. Paulus (born 30 August 1968) is a German jurist who has been serving as a Judge on the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany since 2010.

In 2000, Paulus completed his doctoral thesis on "Die internationale Gemeinschaft im Völkerrecht" (The International Community in Public International Law) under the supervision of Bruno Simma at the University of Munich.

After spending the 2003/04 academic year as Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, Paulus finished his Habilitation in Munich, and since 2006 holds a chair at the University of Göttingen.

On February 25, 2010, Paulus was nominated to succeed Hans-Jürgen Papier on the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.

When the Federal Constitutional Court ruled on the institutional set-up of Germany’s public broadcasting corporations in March 2014, Paulus issued a dissenting opinion arguing that it is “necessary that the supervisory bodies are generally free of representatives of the executive in order to emancipate them from state influence.”[4]
