Students decry George Mason’s decision to hire Justice Brett Kavanaugh

Oxford, England • Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will beat the Washington heat this summer and head for Runnymede, England, a bucolic borough 20 miles from London along the River Thames.

At the site where the Magna Carta was sealed 804 years ago, laying the groundwork for constitutional democracy, the judge will teach a course on the origins of the U.S. Constitution to students at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School — 3,600 miles from the Arlington, Virginia, campus.

He will be joined in the English countryside by Jennifer Mascott, an assistant professor of law at George Mason.
