Christopher Green is Associate Professor of Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law, USA. His articles on the relationship of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection and Privileges or Immunities Clauses have been cited by Justice Stevens in McDonald vs. Chicago and by many scholars. He has also published work on the relationship of the philosophy of language and constitutional theory, the Constitution’s self-definition, the nature of corporations, and epistemology.
"Chris Green’s book on the Privileges or Immunities Clause is an outstanding contribution to the literature that offers a novel account of the meaning of the Clause. Its philosophical sophistication and historical grounding make it a must read for those interested in the subject." -- Michael Rappaport, University of San Diego, USA
