Jeffrey Rosen (legal academic)

Rosen moderates the weekly podcast "We the People" for the National Constitution Center, convening liberal and conservative scholars to discuss timely constitutional issues as well as constitutional debates. In 2014, the Constitution Center opened the George H. W. Bush Bill of Rights gallery, displaying rare copies of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and one of the twelve original copies of the Bill of Rights. In 2015, the Center opened a constitution drafting lab, supported by Google, that convenes constitution-drafters and students from around the world for constitution drafting exercises.

Congress chartered the Constitution Center "to disseminate information about the U.S. Constitution on a non-partisan basis." Rosen became president of the National Constitution Center in 2013. He has articulated the goal of creating an environment in which Americans with different political perspectives may convene on all media platforms for constitutional education and debate.

In 2006, the legal historian David Garrow called him "the nation's most widely read and influential legal commentator."

Rosen was the commentator on legal affairs for The New Republic from 1992 to 2014. He then joined The Atlantic, as a contributing editor. He was a staff writer at the New Yorker, and he is a frequent contributor to the New York Times Magazine.

Rosen attended the Dalton School, a private college preparatory school on New York City's Upper East Side, and graduated in 1982 as valedictorian. He then studied English literature and government at Harvard University, graduating in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts summa cum laude. He was subsequently a Marshall Scholar at Balliol College, Oxford in philosophy, politics, and economics, from which he received a second bachelor's degree in 1988. He then attended the Yale Law School, where he served as a senior editor of the Yale Law Journal and graduated with a Juris Doctor in 1991.

Jeffrey Rosen (born February 13, 1965) is an American academic and commentator on legal affairs, who is widely published on legal issues and constitutional law. Since 2013, he has served as the president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, in Philadelphia.
