Professor Volokh clerked for Judge Alex Kozinski of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court. He graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in math-computer science at age fifteen. He then worked for twelve years as a computer programmer and is still a partner in a small software company which sells HP 3000 software that he wrote.
Professor Volokh has written over 45 law review articles and over 75 op-eds on constitutional law, cyberspace law, and other topics. He is the author of Mechanisms of the Slippery Slope, 116 Harvard Law Review 1026-137 (2003); the casebook The First Amendment: Problems, Cases, and Policy Arguments (2001); the textbook Academic Legal Writing: Law Review Articles, Student Notes, Seminar Papers, and Getting on Law Review (2nd ed. 2004); and the Volokh Conspiracy Web log, http://volokh.com.
