| Justice Thomas' Concurrence in McDonald | ||||
 Ilya Shapiro and Josh
Blackman are long-lost brothers who found each other
as grown ups; at least it seems like that. Mr.
Shapiro is Senior Fellow in constitutional
studies at the Cato Institute and editor-in-chief of the
CATO SUPREME COURT REVIEW. His
law degree is from University of Chicago, and he clerked
for the Honorable E. Grady Jolly of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 5th Circuit. Before joining Cato, Mr.
Shapiro worked at Cleary Gottlieb and at Patton Boggs,
and he was an adjunct professor at George Washington
University Law School. He has contributed to many
academic, popular, and professional publications. He
regularly provides commentary for various television and
radio outlets, and he appeared on “The Colbert
Report” in the wake of McDonald. … Mr.
Blackman is a law clerk in the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 6th Circuit. His law degree is from
George Mason. He has published 12 law review articles,
was cited by the 7th Circuit in Ezell v. Chicago,
and will begin as an Assistant Professor at South Texas
College of Law in August 2012. Their topic at the
Scholars Seminar was “Justice Thomas' Concurrence in
McDonald: What It -- and therefore the
Privileges or Immunities Clause -- Means for Future
RKBA-related Litigation.” |
