It's my pleasure to introduce John Inazu as a guest to the lounge. John has been a senior lecturing fellow at Duke for a couple of years and will be a visiting assistant professor at Duke Law School this coming year. Dan and I have pulled a chair into the lounge for him and he'll be sitting with us for a while. This is further evidence, I suppose, that we should change the name of this blog to the North Carolina faculty lounge or maybe the Durham-Chapel Hill faculty lounge.
John has undergraduate and law degrees from Duke and a Ph.D. in political science from UNC. He clerked for Judge Roger L. Wollman of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and spent four years as an associate general counsel for the Department of the Air Force at the Pentagon, where he litigated governmental contracts, national security, and military personnel matters.
John's scholarship focuses on the First Amendment, law and religion, political theory, and jurisprudence; it has appeared (or is forthcoming) in the Tulane Law Review, Connecticut Law Review, and Tennessee Law Review, among others. And he is completing a book manuscript on freedom of assembly. You can read some of his recent scholarship at ssrn.
I'm looking forward to reading John's characteristically thoughtful and crisp insights.
