Justice Antonin Scalia Touro Law Center's 1995 Distinguished Jurist in Residence is Associate Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Justice Scalia has carved a distinctive niche on the Supreme Court by questioning the conventions of modern statutory construction and constitutional interpretation. He describes himself as a "textualist" who believes that judges should apply the actual language of the Constitution and laws, reasonably understood, rather than search for deeper meaning or broader social purposes. Justice Scalia was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and educated at Georgetown and University of Friboug (Switzerland), A.B., 1957. He received his law degree from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. After graduation from law school, Justice Scalia practiced with a firm in Cleveland, Ohio, and then accepted a position as a professor of law at the University of Virginia. He later served in various government positions, including General Counsel, Office of Telecommunications Policy, Executive Office of the President, and as Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice. After leaving government service, he returned to law teaching, first at the University of Chicago, and then at Stanford University. He was nominated by President Reagan to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1982, and by President Reagan as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 1986. In a recent New York Times profile, Justice Scalia was quoted as saying that the problem with judicial activism is "a modern trend called democracy," adding, "It is simply not compatible with democratic theory that laws mean whatever they ought to mean and that unelected judges decide what that is." tourolaw.edu So when was this supposed malfeasance supposed to have happened?
