Richmond Law Professor Candidate for Fourth Circuit

Bluecommonwealth.com is reporting that a professor I had for Constitutional Law is a candidate to fill a vacancy on the 4th circuit court of appeals.

Carl W. Tobias was a great professor, and an asset to the school. He truly knows the material- giving us insights well beyond the scope of the book. He is a recognized scholar in the field- I’ve heard him interviewed more than once on NPR. Not simply an academic, he is known around the school for his tiny dog who he brings to class and guards his office to scare off pesky 1Ls.

While he would be a big loss to the school if he took the position, the Court would be truly better off for having him.
