Jordan M. Singer

Jordan M. Singer serves as a faculty member at New England Law in Boston, specializing in constitutional law and judicial systems. His academic career began around 2009 after six years in private practice and a clerkship with Colorado Supreme Court Justice Gregory Hobbs (2000-2001).

Professor Singer's research focuses on judicial selection processes, constitutional interpretation, and federal court systems. His scholarship examines the tension between judicial independence and accountability, particularly regarding state judicial elections, retention systems, and the impact of campaign financing on judicial legitimacy. He has documented how public perception of judges centers on procedural fairness rather than specific case outcomes.

Singer actively contributes to legal discourse through faculty publications, analyzing landmark cases like Obergefell v. Hodges and critiquing Supreme Court institutional dynamics. His work emphasizes the importance of judicial humility and proper institutional role definition within constitutional governance.

As an educator, Singer draws on his practical experience as both clerk and practitioner to inform his teaching of civil procedure and constitutional law. His mentorship approach reflects lessons learned from Justice Hobbs regarding judicial responsibility and humility.
