Justice Kavanaugh to join faculty at George Mason's Scalia Law School
By QUINT FORGEY 03/23/2019 12:31 PM EDT
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will join George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School as a distinguished visiting professor, the university confirmed Saturday.
Kavanaugh will co-teach a two-credit summer course in England from July through August. The class, titled "Creation of the Constitution," focuses on "the origins and creation of the U.S. Constitution just outside of London in Runnymede, England, the location of the sealing of the Magna Carta," according to the Scalia Law School.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was confirmed in April 2017 to take over the late Scalia's Supreme Court seat, will also co-teach a summer class in Padua, Italy, "about the historical roots and the modern application of the separation of powers in the national security context."
In a statement, the law school said: "It is a rare opportunity for students to learn from a U.S. Supreme Court Justice and we believe that contributes to making our law program uniquely valuable for our students."
The news of Kavanaugh’s role at George Mason — first reported by Fourth Estate, the university’s student-run news outlet — comes five months after Harvard Law School announced that he would not return to campus in Spring 2019 to teach his previously scheduled course, “The Supreme Court Since 2005.”
