This autumn, Eugene Volokh, a nationally recognized expert on the First Amendment, cyberspace law, harassment law, and gun control, will teach Constitutional Law II: Free Speech and Advanced Constitutional Law: Religion Clauses at Stanford Law School. Professor Volokh is visiting from UCLA School of Law, where he lectures on Copyright and Firearms Regulation. Mr. Volokh graduated from UCLA with a BS in math and computer science at age fifteen. He then worked for twelve years as a computer programmer and is still a partner in a small software company which sells the HP 3000 software that he wrote. Later, he clerked for Judge Alex Kozinski on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor ’52 (BA ’50) on the U.S. Supreme Court. Professor Volokh has written more than 30 law review articles and more than 40 op-eds on constitutional law, cyberspace law, and other topics. He is the author of “Mechanisms of the Slippery Slope,” 116 Harvard Law Review 1026-137 (2003); the casebook The First Amendment: Problems, Cases, and Policy Arguments (2001); the textbook Academic Legal Writing: Law Review Articles, Student Notes, and Seminar Papers (2003); and the Volokh Conspiracy weblog. A 2002 survey by University of Texas law professor Brian Leiter listed him as the third most cited law professor among those who entered teaching after 1992. |
