Legal Scholars Honor Professor Henry Paul Monaghan
Monaghan was honored at the tenth annual John F. Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics and Culture held at Villanova University School of Law in Philadelphia.
New York, October 22, 2015— Long recognized as one of the nation's leading scholars on constitutional law and federal jurisdiction, Henry Paul Monaghan has taught at Columbia Law School for 32 years. On October 16, Monaghan, the School's Harlan Fiske Stone Professor of Law, was honored at the tenth annual John F. Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics and Culture held at Villanova University School of Law in Philadelphia.
The conference program described Monaghan as a scholar who “has helped generations of jurists, scholars and students understand the meaning of the Constitution of the United States by evaluating the document's perfections while insisting upon its imperfections,” and it “focus[ed] on three of his landmark articles: “Marbury and Administrative Law,” 83 Colum. L. Rev. 1 (1983); “The Protective Power of the President,” 93 Colum. L. Rev. 1 (1993); “Stare Decisis and Constitutional Adjudication,” 88 Colum. L. Rev. 723 (1988).”
