Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to teach summer class in England for George Mason law

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh is returning to teaching law, joining the faculty of George Mason University’s law school as a visiting professor.

The Antonin Scalia Law School announced Saturday that Kavanaugh will co-teach a course this summer on the “origins and creation of the US Constitution” in Runnymede, England.

Sitting Supreme Court justices often teach courses affiliated with universities during the summer months.

“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 school said.

Kavanaugh’s hiring was first reported by the school’s newspaper, Fourth Estate.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch will also be co-teaching a class for the Scalia Law School, in Italy “about the historical roots and the modern application of the separation of powers in the national security context.”

Before joining the Supreme Court, Kavanaugh taught at Harvard Law School for more than a decade.

Montgomery Co. parent group asks Supreme Court to hear case alleging discrimination in MCPS admissions

For at least the second time in the past several years, the U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to hear a case concerning Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), this time related to claims that admission policies adopted by the district for middle school magnet programs were designed to reduce opportunities for Asian American students. The petition for writ of certiorari was filed to the highest court on Thursday by the Pacific Legal Foundation, according to court records and the group’s website. The foundation is “a public interest law firm that defends Americans’ liberties when threatened by government overreach,” according to its site. It is representing the Association for Education Fairness, which calls itself a group of “concerned Asian-American parents in Montgomery County.”
