he also clerked for judge walter r. mansfield of the united states court of appeals for the second circuit. professor rotunda is the author of the most widely used core spoken legal ethics and the leading course book in constitutional law which makes him quite possibly the most applicable moderator for this panel today. we're lucky to have him here at chapman. choefr rotunda has authored more than 300 articles in various law reviews, journals, and newspapers in both the united states and across europe, and as dean campbell mentioned earlier, that makes him as of a few years ago, the 11th most cited professor. in 2009 professor rotunda became a commissioner of the fair political practices commission, a state regulatory agency that acts as california's independent political watchdog. professor rotunda was also nominated by george w. bush to become a member of the privacy and civil liberties on homeland security and governmental affairs. without further ado, i would like to bring up professor rotunda to get our panel started.
