He has an M.A. in Philosophy from Holy Apostles College and Seminary (concentration in metaphysics in the Thomistic tradition; thesis on the role of the Catholic intellectual tradition in defining a Catholic university; summa cum laude); a J.D. from Yale Law School (a senior editor on the Yale Law Journal); a Diploma in Law from the University of Oxford (research and thesis on constitutional interpretation); and a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame (majors in Great Books and in economics; summa cum laude).
