one those rare Deans who sends out reprints. In other words, he has continued to write serious legal history while also serving as Dean at Fordham. A partial list of publications just from last year includes: “Marbury v. Madison,” in Federal Courts Stories (Vicki Jackson & Judith Resnik, eds., Foundation Press, 2009); “Morton Horwitz: Legal Historian as Lawyer and Historian,” in Transformations in American Legal History: Essays in Honor of Morton J. Horwitz (Daniel W. Hamilton & Alfred L. Brophy, eds., Harvard Law School, 2009); "Against Textualism," 103 Northwestern Law Review 983-1006 (2009); and “Supreme Neglect,“ 107 Michigan Law Review 1059-1071 (2009) (book review). He has a book manuscript in progress on judicial review in early U.S. history. I take it as good news for the field as well as for Georgetown that such an engaged legal historian will be at the helm of a top law school.Photo.
