The Saturn Club,
977 Delaware Ave,
Buffalo, NY 14209
The Saturn Club was founded in 1885 by thirteen young men who wanted to congregate in a less formal setting than their father's traditional clubs. In 1889, the club and its 150 members formally incorporated in Erie County and decided to construct their own building. Eventually, in December 1920, a new building committee suggested selling the existing clubhouse and erecting a new building elsewhere. By February 1921, the club had purchased its current property at 977 Delaware Avenue, an address on one of the nation's most fashionable avenues, and approved plans for a picturesque Tudor style building enclosing an open court. Exactly one year later, on October 21, 1922, the clubhouse was dedicated with an elaborate ceremony that featured members in full academic regalia processing from the old clubhouse to the new one. The club has been based there ever since and now boasts over 500 members.

Conflict of Laws (Foundation Press, 2010) offers an accessible analytical overview of conflicts. The Myth of Judicial Activism: Making Sense of Supreme Court Decisions (Yale, 2006) sets out standards by which citizens can determine whether the Supreme Court is abusing its authority to interpret the Constitution.
He has published articles in the Virginia Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, and the Columbia Law Review, among others. He is also the author of two novels, In the Shadow of the Law (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2005) and Allegiance (Regan Arts, 2015).
