Jamie Raskin will administer his last Constitutional Law final exam on Wednesday at American University Washington College of Law after 26 years of teaching. Raskin won’t be retiring down to Florida or hitting the bingo circuit, however. He’s trading the Ivory Tower for the halls of Capitol Hill, having won a seat to represent Maryland’s 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives after a hard-fought primary that was the most expensive in the country this year. He is the sole law professor joining Congress this cycle.
Legislating isn’t new to Raskin, who has been a state senator for 10 years, but the left-leaning Democrat will find a host of new challenges in Washington, including a Republican-controlled Congress and the incoming Trump administration.
