After dinner this evening, I did a bit of research into the publications of Todd Butler, President Trump's latest nominee to the Fifth Circuit. Despite serving in private practice for nearly two decades, Butler has published several articles. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Mississippi Law School. (I am not sure what he taught).
Here are some of his publications:
- A Matter of Positivism: Evaluating the Legal Philosophy of Justice Antonin Scalia Under the Framework Set Forth by H.L.A. Hart , 12 HOLY CROSS J.L. & PUB. POL'Y 47, 64 (2008).
- RECIPE FOR DISASTER: ANALYZING THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE CASTLE DOCTRINE AND THE KNOCK-AND-ANNOUNCE RULE AFTER HUDSON V. MICHIGAN , 27 Miss. C. L. Rev. 435 (2008).
