Klarman holds a J.D. from Stanford Law School, a D.Phil. from Oxford University (where he was a Marshall Scholar) and an M.A. and B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania.[6] His dissertation was titled "The Osborne Judgment: A Legal/Historical Analysis".[7] After his graduation from law school, he clerked for then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she was on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[8][9]

Scholarship edit

 
Klarman discusses the U.S. Constitution on its 222nd anniversary

Klarman specializes in the constitutional history of race.[10] He contends that the Supreme Court of the United States has historically been hostile to the rights of minorities and has not consistently enforced constitutional protections for them. Klarman argues that civil rights protections arise out of social mores from which the court takes its cue.[1][4]

Klarman has also defended political process theory as a method of constitutional interpretation.[11]
