It's my pleasure to announce that Professor Justin Robert Long, who is an assistant professor of law at Wayne State University, is stepping into the lounge to sit with us for a spell. Justin was educated at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania Law School, clerked for Judge Myron H. Bright of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and Associate Judge Albert M. Rosenblatt of the New York Court of Appeals, and was an assistant solicitor general in the New York Office of the Attorney General. Before moving to Wayne State he was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Connecticut. Justin's publications include State Constitutional Prohibitions on Special Laws, 60 Cleveland State Law Review 719 (2012); State Constitutions as Interactive Expressions of Fundamental Values, 74 Albany Law Review 1739 (2011); Are State Constitutions Un-American?, 40 Rutgers Law Journal 793 (2010); Against Certification, 78 George Washington Law Review 114 (2009); and Demosprudence, Interactive Federalism, and Twenty Years of Sheff v. O'Neill, 42 Connecticut Law Review 585 (2009).
Cribbing now from Justin's webpage:
Assistant Professor Justin R. Long studies state constitutionalism, public education law, urban law, and federalism. He is the associate director for education law and policy of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights, and regularly works with civil rights activists in the community. He served as reporter for the Michigan Judicial Selection Task Force, a citizens' commission working to reform Michigan's process for selecting supreme court justices. He lives in Detroit.
I'm looking forward to his posts!
