Revision as of 05:48, 10 February 2006 by Zenohockey (talk | contribs) (moved paragraphs up, added "citation needed" to socialism para.)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Mark Tushnet (b. 1945) is a prominent critical legal studies proponent, constitutional law scholar, and author of many books. While serving as a law clerk to Justice Thurgood Marshall, authored a memo which dramatically influenced the opinion in Roe v. Wade. Tushnet is a professor at Georgetown Law Center and one of the most radical constitutional law theorists in the country. He famously described critical legal studies as a "political location" and has stated that, were he a justice, he would vote in favor of whichever side in a case he thought would best advance the agenda of international socialism.
Tushnet is a main proponant of the idea that judical review should be strongly limited and that the constitution should be returned "to the people".
His daughter is also a professor of law at Georgetown university.
