Professor Daniel Epps has recently been featured in the press, contributing thoughtful insights on critical legal issues.
Epps collaborated with colleagues Adam Chilton of the University of Chicago, Kyle Rozema of Northwestern University, and Maya Sen of Harvard University, to publish an op-ed in Washington Monthly based on their shared paper, Designing Supreme Court Term Limits. Their op-ed argues that the Supreme Court’s current lifetime appointment process contributes to unpredictable vacancies, which become highly politicized. They outline how term limits could help restore balance and integrity to an institution that has lost public trust amid its growing role in American life.
Additionally, Epps partnered with Alan Trammell of Washington & Lee University to publish an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal based on their latest paper, The False Promise of Jurisdiction Stripping. Their editorial examines Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s recent proposal, the No Kings Act and criticizes the bill’s constitutional footing. They argue the bill politicizes the Supreme Court and undermines its judicial independence.
In addition to his written work, Epps also released several new episodes of his podcast, Divided Argument, alongside his co-host William Baude of the University of Chicago. Recent episodes have examined the Supreme Court’s latest rulings in cases like Moyle v. United States, Trump v. United States, and Smith v. Arizona.
Professor Epps is a nationally recognized scholar whose work studies the intersection of constitutional law and theory, federal courts, and criminal law and procedure. Read more about his experience and scholarship here.
