Robert S. Stevens Professor of Law

Michael Dorf is an expert in constitutional law. His work as a lawyer has included a constitutional challenge to NAFTA in the D.C. Circuit, and he maintains an active pro bono practice that chiefly consists of writing amicus briefs in Supreme Court cases.

Dorf says: 

“President Biden has made a superb choice. Even apart from the historic significance of the first African American woman nominated to the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is an outstanding legal craftsperson and as important, committed not only to law but to justice.”
