In recognition of Constitution Day, Case Western Law Professor Emeritus Jonathan Entin will examine historical periods of change and some of the key legal figures who have inspired our current understanding of The Constitution. 

Jonathan L. Entin served as academic dean of Case Western Law school, held a faculty appointment in Political Science, and was the university’s faculty mediator. He has written extensively about the Constitution, the Supreme Court, civil rights, and the administrative state.

Five graduating classes honored him as Teacher of the Year and two others selected him as Administrator of the Year. He also received the Federal Bar Association’s first national award for excellence in civics education. When he retired, many of his students endowed a fund to honor his work as longtime advisor to the Case Western Reserve Law Review.

Professor Entin served as a law clerk to Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she was a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District Columbia Circuit. He has written about her work as a lawyer and judge as well as about the work of legendary civil rights lawyer Fred Gray, who represented Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, and the victims of the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment among many others. He also did appellate litigation at a leading law firm where he helped to exonerate an innocent man who came within hours of execution.
