Robert A. Levy - Scholar, Pundit, and Author

Scholar, Pundit, and Author

In 1997 Levy became a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute and an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University. At this point Levy began writing extensively, and the following years saw him publishing articles and Op-Ed pieces in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, National Review, Reason and many other publications. He also began making television and radio appearances, and has appeared on cable and network shows including Nightline, Crossfire, The O'Reilly Factor, Hardball with Chris Matthews, and The Today Show.

Levy co-authored The Dirty Dozen (book): How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom with William Mellor. Although never a bestseller, The Dirty Dozen was excerpted by Forbes, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, and enjoyed a generally positive critical reception.

In 2004, Levy retired from his position at Georgetown and moved down to Naples, Florida. He remains a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute. He was named to the institute's board of directors in 2007, and became chairman in 2008. He also sits on the boards of the Institute for Justice, the Federalist Society, and the George Mason University School of Law.
