With Kavanaugh, a Second SCOTUS Justice Is on Scalia Law School Faculty
News of Justice Brett Kavanaugh's appointment as a distinguished visiting professor has caused a bigger stir than a similar announcement last year of fellow Justice Neil Gorsuch's new summer teaching gig at the law school.

Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University has added a second U.S. Supreme Court Justice to its faculty roster.
Brett Kavanaugh will co-teach a two-week course in Runnymede, England, this summer on the creation of the Constitution with professor Jennifer Mascott. Fellow Justice Neil Gorsuch is also co-teaching a two-week course in Padua, Italy, as part of George Mason's National Security Institute—his second time doing so.
Kavanaugh's new teaching gig has generated a bigger stir than the Gorsuch announcement last year, however. Kavanaugh pulled out of his scheduled two-week January class on the Supreme Court since 2005 at Harvard Law School in October amid calls by students for his firing during his contentious confirmation, which included accusations of sexual assault when the justice was in high school. (Kavanaugh denied any misconduct, and university officials said only that the justice “could not commit” to teaching the class as planned, as he had done since 2009.)
