I had Professor Ron Rotunda for Constitutional Law in 2007. But for Ron, I doubt I would have become a constitutional law professor. He inspired me in ways I still think about to this day. In 2018, Ron suddenly passed away, far too young. The following year, I wrote a remembrance about Ron in the Chapman Law Review.
The Federalist Society has created a new annual webinar in Ron's memory about the state of the legal profession. It was my honor to moderate the first session. Greg Jacob, who served as a counselor to Vice President Pence on January 6, 2021, was our distinguished speaker.
