My Modern Age essay on the legal conservative movement, "Countering the Counterrevolution Narrative," has been posted online: https://home.isi.org/countering-counterrevolution-narrative.

This was an especially gratifying essay to write. I have been a big admirer of Modern Age for many years. To publish in a journal started by some of my intellectual heroes, and one that is currently edited by some truly eminent scholars, such as Daniel McCarthy and Samuel Goldman, is a true honor.

This essay also gave me an opportunity to explore some of the themes central to my book project -- such as the divisions between traditionalism and libertarianism, the trajectory of American conservatism, and the role of originalism in the legal conservative movement. I will explore all of these issues, and others, in much greater depth in my book.

The next projects on my docket are: (1) finalizing a chapter on Justice Scalia's legacy in the legal conservative movement, and (2) drafting a chapter on the different phases of legal conservatism for an anthology on the history of the conservative movement.

In the meantime, I am scheduled to do a couple of book reviews, and I may write some online essays, but for the most part my attention will soon shift to research for my book. Over the next month or so, I will begin posting some interesting data I have been accumulating from reviewing National Review archives.

Stay tuned!

Your essay offers a refreshing and timely analysis of legal conservatism, especially in how it challenges prevailing narratives. It’s interesting to see how interpretive frameworks like originalism evolve over time—much like how legal interpretations shift in complex areas such as Florida mold insurance claims, where precedent and context shape outcomes significantly.
