Professor Wildenthal was an editor of the Stanford Law Review and clerked for Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr., of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, and Chief Justice Michael F. Cavanagh of the Michigan Supreme Court. He practiced at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering (now WilmerHale) in Washington, D.C., and taught at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law, before joining TJSL in 1996. He has published frequently in leading law reviews, including those at Stanford, Ohio State, Arizona, Illinois, Oregon, Tulsa, Washington & Lee, Georgia State and Michigan State. His first book appeared in 2003. He is now at work on a series of articles that will eventually form his second book, offering a sweeping reinterpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment and its application of the Bill of Rights to the states. His scholarly interests generally focus on constitutional law and history, American Indian law, and sexual identity law.
