His work explores the relationship between constitutional interpretation, federal jurisdiction, and international legal norms. He has made significant contributions to debates about federalism, separation of powers, and the proper role of international law in domestic jurisprudence.
His most notable scholarly contribution is the book The Law of Nations and the United States Constitution (Oxford University Press, 2017), co-authored with Anthony J. Bellia Jr., which was the subject of a symposium in the Georgetown Law Journal.
