Additional content for lead and biography section

[edit]

I am employed by Boston University and have a COI with this page. I would like to propose additions to this page:

1. In the current sentence, remove "focusing in constitutional law and U.S. Supreme Court, currently" and replace it with "and". 2. For source #2, add a ref name="Princeton Profile", so that it can be reused. 3. After the existing sentence add the following to the lead section:

His scholarship is in normative constitutional theory and constitutional interpretation,[1] with special attention to criticizing originalism and defending moral readings of the U.S. Constitution,[2] developing a civic liberalism concerned not only with protecting rights but also with inculcating civic virtues,[3] and justifying rights to autonomy and equality as central to constitutional self-government.[4]

4. Add an infobox:

6. Add a Biography section with the following prose:

Fleming received an A.B. summa cum laude in Political Science from the University of Missouri in 1977.[10] He earned his J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1985.[11] At Harvard, he studied with John Rawls[12] and Frank Michelman[13] and was a teaching fellow for Michael Sandel.[14] In 1988, he completed a Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University,[15] where he wrote his Ph.D. dissertation, "Constitutional Constructivism,"[16] under the supervision of Walter F. Murphy[17] and Sanford Levinson. In his dissertation, Fleming developed a constitutional constructivism by analogy to John Rawls’s political constructivism.[16] Before becoming a law professor, Fleming was an attorney in the litigation department at Cravath, Swaine & Moore in New York City from 1986 to 1991.[11]

Fleming taught at Fordham University School of Law from 1991 to 2007,[11] and was appointed the Leonard F. Manning Distinguished Professor of Law in 2006.[18] He joined the faculty of Boston University School of Law in 2007 as The Honorable Frank R. Kenison Distinguished Scholar[19] and was appointed The Honorable Paul J. Liacos Professor of Law in 2015.[20] Fleming has served as Associate Dean for Intellectual Life at Boston University School of Law[20] and is the Faculty Advisor for the Boston University Law Review.[21]

At Fordham and Boston University, Fleming has organized (or co-organized) and published numerous conference volumes in constitutional theory and legal philosophy,[22][23][24] including volumes on the work of John Rawls[25] and Ronald Dworkin.[26]

Fleming was the Editor of Nomos, the annual book of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy.[27] In that capacity, he published four interdisciplinary volumes with New York University Press: Nomos L: Getting to the Rule of Law (2011);[28] Nomos LII: Evolution and Morality (with Sanford Levinson) (2012);[29] Nomos LIII: Passions and Emotions (2013);[30] and Nomos LV: Federalism and Subsidiarity (with Jacob T. Levy) (2014).[31] He also has served as the Society's President and as of June 2021, is the Secretary-Treasurer.[32]
