The originalist: constitutional interpretation in the thought and life of Robert Bork

Abstract

For the seminal contribution to originalist constitutional interpretation and the controversies surrounding his failed confirmation at the United States Supreme Court, Robert Bork has left a lasting mark on American constitutional history. The purpose of this study is to describe Bork’s career as a public servant, outline the key concepts of his jurisprudence and contribution to originalism, and understand the implications of his legacy on American legal culture.
