In L.A. Times and Slate, Professor Tang Examines Key Supreme Court Cases

Professor Aaron Tang wrote op-eds for the Los Angeles Times and Slate on key Supreme Court cases.

In his Oct. 30 piece for the Times, Tang discussed the court’s airing of two new challenges to affirmative action in higher education admissions. With the conservative supermajority almost sure to end affirmative action, “Equity advocates should go big” in response, Tang advised, and aim “at the root causes of educational inequality.”

In his Nov. 3 Slate essay, Tang discussed how Mallory v. Norfolk Southern Railway Company, which will be argued Nov. 8, will help determine whether the court’s conservative justices are evenhanded – or instead hypocritical – adherents to their preferred theory of originalism.

Aaron Tang’s teaching and research interests include constitutional law, education law, federal courts, labor law, and the intersections among civil litigation, the political process, and public policy more broadly.  A graduate of Stanford Law School, he has clerked for Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and Justice Sonia Sotomayor of the U.S. Supreme Court. His scholarly articles have appeared in law journals such as the Stanford Law Review, New York University Law Review, Virginia Law Review, George Washington Law Review, and Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy.
