A Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude Yale graduate, he earned a triple major in mathematics; English; and History, the Arts, and Letters. Now as a member of the Virginia law faculty, he teaches constitutional law, administrative law, electoral law, civil procedure, and legal theory.

Then he returned to Yale for law school and received his J.D. in 1983. He clerked for Judge Stephen G.
