He was often chosen by the students as their most outstanding professor. He returned to private practice in 1995, and began television work in the same year.

The Judge is the author of ten books on the U.S. Constitution, two of which have been New York Times Best Sellers. His most recent book, Freedom’s Anchor: An Introduction to Natural Law Jurisprudence in American Constitutional History is a 500-page, 2,000-footnote treatise on the origins and development of natural law theory. It examines every U.S. Supreme Court decision that expressly accepts and expressly rejects the idea that our rights come from our humanity.
