JOHN MARSHALL FELLOWSHIP

The John Marshall Fellowship, CCJ’s flagship program, is seven days of intensive seminars in American political thought and jurisprudence. Sessions are taught by a core faculty of John Eastman, Ronald J. Pestritto, Vincent Phillip Muñoz, Matthew Peterson, and John Yoo. During the program, John Marshall Fellows learn about and discuss political philosophy, American government, and American history with a specific focus on the origins and development of American constitutional jurisprudence.

Topics include:

• Chief Justice John Marshall
• Prerogative & Executive Power
• Positivism: Left & Right
• Originalism
• Natural Rights & Natural Law
• Living Constitutionalism

The John Marshall Fellowship Program is intended for prospective clerks and legal scholars who will have opportunities to educate the judges and Justices with whom they work, and the legal community at large.
