Scott Matheson Jr., the Hugh B. Brown Presidential Endowed Chair in Law at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney School of Law, has just been nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. He would take the seat previously held by Michael McConnell, another academic. Matheson is a graduate of Stanford University and Yale Law School, and was a Rhodes Scholar. He has been on the Utah faculty since 1985, served as the school's dean for several years, and he took a break to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah during the Clinton administration. His 2009 book, Presidential Constitutionalism in Perilous Times (Harvard Press) won the Chicago-Kent College of Law Roy C. Palmer Civil Liberties Prize.
Congratulations to Professor Matheson. He has an extraordinary breadth of talents. That will be a fabulous clerkship for the people lucky enough to clerk for him.
