I have written a variety of free-standing articles and participated in colloquies
with others on constitutional law, administrative law, separation of powers, legal
history, parliamentary law, and legislative processes. My articles tend focus on the
parliamentary underpinnings of our constitutional procedure. I have also written on
related issues in corporate law, particularly, issues regarding the validity of board and
corporate action and ratification where prior action was defective. 

My degrees are from the College of the University of Chicago and from Harvard Law School.
I have given lectures or addressed faculty at Campbell University School of Law, Lincoln
Memorial University -- Duncan School of Law, Marquette University Law School, New York
University School of Law, Quinnipiac University School of Law, Roger Williams University
School of Law, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, Wayne State University Law School, and
Widener University School of Law. I have current invitations to speak: at the First
Amendment Colloquium at Catholic University of America School of Law, at the Politics on
the Public Mind Colloquium at Fairleigh Dickinson University, at the next AEI-Brookings
conference on presidential and legislative succession issues. 

I have clerked for Judge Mark E. Fuller (U.S. District Court for the Middle District of
Alabama -- formerly the Chief Judge), Judge William J. Martini (U.S. District Court for
the District of New Jersey), Judge Jane R. Roth (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third
Circuit -- now Senior), and for Judge Malachy E. Mannion (U.S. District Court for the
Middle District of Pennsylvania -- formerly a magistrate judge). I left an appointment as
a permanent law clerk to an Article III judge to take a teaching post in the law faculty
at the National University of Ireland Maynooth (NUIM). 

I taught Constitutional Law II at Rutgers University School of Law (Newark) during Spring
2010. At NUIM, I taught legal writing & advocacy, and equity & the law of trusts.
I was an observer on the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws'
Study Committee for a Uniform Faithful Presidential Electors Act. I am a Member of the
Education Committee of the Institute of Parliamentary and Political Law in Ottawa,
Canada. I am a peer reviewer for publications of the Goldwater Institute (a think tank in
Phoenix, Arizona), and also for the Irish Law Journal. 

I was ranked (circa May 1, 2013) by the Social Science Research Network among the top 300
law authors using total number of downloads for all papers, and I was ranked (also circa
May 1, 2013) in the top 100 law authors using total number of downloads for the last 12
calendar months. My total download count on SSRN exceeds 10,000; and on BEPRESS, it
exceeds 25,000. More than a dozen journal articles have been written responding to my
publications. These responsive articles have been written by Professors Jeremy D. Bailey,
Robert F. Blomquist, Aaron-Andrew P. Bruhl, Steven G. Calabresi (a rebuttal, and a
closing statement), Brian C. Kalt (a response, and a rejoinder), Gary S. Lawson, Sanford
V. Levinson, Bruce G. Peabody, Saikrishna B. Prakash, Stephen Michael Sheppard, and
Zephyr Teachout (a published rebuttal, and a forthcoming closing statement).
(Additionally, I expect that a response to my contribution to the "Office" and
"Officer" debate may appear over the course of 2013-2014.) 

My corporate law publications have been cited in seven legal briefs before the Delaware
Court of Chancery, thirteen books and treatises (eleven published, two forthcoming), five
journal articles (e.g., Illinois Law Review), one annotation, two bibliographies
(including one non-English bibliography), four newsletters and conference papers, and six
blog posts. My corporate law publications are cited in (published and forthcoming) book
and treatises on contract law; corporate law; law & economics; legal opinion letters;
mergers & acquisitions; securities transfers; and the Uniform Commercial Code. 

My publications have been cited by Justice Antonin Scalia (Supreme Court of the United
States), Judge D. Arthur Kelsey (Virginia), and Justice Peter M. Lauriat (Massachusetts),
and I was personally acknowledged by Judge Peter Spiller (New Zealand). Of my twenty
published journal articles, five have been reprinted and/or republished. Each of my
published journal articles is cited in academic, professional, or government
publications, or in legal briefs (before the Delaware Court of Chancery and before the
Supreme Court of the United States). 

There are over two-hundred citations to my articles appearing in over ninety (published
or forthcoming) authored and anonymous treatises, annotations, and bibliographies, books
and case books, doctoral dissertations, Congressional Research Service and other
government publications (including three United States Senate documents), academic and
professional newsletters and reports, working papers, legal briefs, and course syllabi,

I have been personally acknowledged or thanked in over forty publications (including

Wikipedia, on over fifty law-related websites and blogs, including, domestic and foreign

Comments, correspondence, and citations are very welcomed. If you cite or quote from any
of my materials in publications which will not appear on LexisNexis or on Westlaw, I
would appreciate a courtesy copy. I keep track of citations in relation to promotion and
tenure. Additionally, if you use any of my materials in a course syllabus or otherwise,
please send me a copy. Thank you. E-mail: sbarrettillman@yahoo.com.
