  • by Carla Meyer

Constitutional law scholars Professor Vikram Amar and Professor Emeritus Alan Brownstein wrote a May 2 essay for Justia’s Verdict about why even peaceful expressive encampments at universities are not immune from restrictions.

Before that, he was a professor and the senior associate dean for academic affairs at King Hall from 2008 to 2015.

Professor Brownstein, a nationally recognized constitutional law scholar, taught Constitutional Law, Law and Religion, and Torts at UC Davis School of Law for more than 30 years. Before his retirement from full-time teaching, he held the Boochever and Bird Endowed Chair for the Study and Teaching of Freedom and Equality.
