Mark Tushnet (b. 1945) is a prominent critical legal studies proponent, constitutional law scholar, and author of many books. While serving as a law clerk to Justice Thurgood Marshall, Tushnet authored a memo which dramatically influenced the opinion in Roe v. Wade. Tushnet is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and one of the most radical constitutional law theorists in the country. He famously described critical legal studies as a "political location" and has stated that, were he a justice, he would vote in favor of whichever side in a case he thought would best advance the agenda of international socialism.
Tushnet received his juris doctor from Yale University.
Tushnet is a main proponant of the idea that judicial review should be strongly limited and that the Constitution should be returned "to the people".
His daughter is also a professor of law at Georgetown University.
