Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Samuel A. Alito Jr. taught 16 Regent University School of Law students during a special three-day jurisprudence seminar titled “Select Issues in Constitutional Interpretation.” The seminar, held at the National Center for State Courts in Washington, D.C., took place on January 13-15, 2020.

Alito, who serves as a Senior Lecturing Fellow with the School of Law, co-taught the seminar with Regent Law Dean Mark D. Martin, formerly Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. Chief Justice Martin stated: “What a tremendous opportunity for our second- and third-year law students. We are grateful to Justice Alito for his commitment to the next generation of leaders in the legal profession.”

He has served as U.S. attorney for the district of New Jersey; deputy assistant attorney general in the U.S. Department of Justice; assistant to the solicitor general in the U.S. Department of Justice under the Reagan administration; and assistant U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Alito holds a law degree from Yale University, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Review. He was a law clerk for Judge Leonard Garth of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
