Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz teaches constitutional law and federal jurisdiction at Georgetown Law School. He is currently developing a new theory of constitutional interpretation and judicial review, and his recently published article on that subject, The Subjects of the Constitution in the Stanford Law Review (May 2010), is the single most downloaded article about constitutional interpretation, judicial review, or federal courts in the history of SSRN. Rosenkranz clerked for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy at the U.S. Supreme Court and Judge Frank H. Easterbrook on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He has served as an Attorney-Advisor at the Office of Legal Counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice. He often testifies before Congress as constitutional expert. He has also filed briefs and presented oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court. Rosenkranz is co-Chair of the Board of Visitors of the Federalist Society and a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute.
Professor Garrett Epps of the University of Baltimore teaches courses in Constitutional Law, First Amendment, and Fiction and Non-Fiction Writing for Law Students. He is a contributing writer to The Atlantic Online and serves as the magazine's Supreme Court correspondent. He is also a contributing editor of The American Prospect. His books include Wrong and Dangerous: Ten Right-Wing Myths about Our Constitution. Epps's most recent book, American Justice 2014: Nine Clashing Visions on the Supreme Court, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press. Epps's previous book, American Epic: Reading the U.S. Constitution, was published in 2013 by Oxford University Press. American Epic was named a finalist for the American Bar Association’s Silver Gavel Book award. Two of his previous books, Democracy Reborn: The Fourteenth Amendment and the Fight for Equal Rights in Post-Civil War America (2006) and To an Unknown God: Religious Freedom on Trial (2001), were both also Silver Gavel finalists.
