Following law school, he clerked for Judge Guido Calabresi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Coenen's research explores structural constitutional questions, particularly executive power dynamics, government motive analysis, and doctrinal overlaps between constitutional rights. His notable works include *Principles of Constitutional Structure* (co-authored with Dan Coenen) and influential articles like 'Should Courts Make It Personal?' (Minnesota Law Review, 2024) examining virtue-dependent judicial doctrines.
His scholarship frequently addresses modern challenges in administrative and constitutional law, including nondelegation principles, judicial deference, and remedial frameworks. Coenen’s contributions have shaped debates on executive authority limits, governmental transparency, and the interplay between legal clauses.
Awarded the prestigious Marino Chair, his academic achievements reflect deep engagement with foundational legal theory and contemporary governance issues. His work bridges doctrinal precision with broader structural analyses, offering critical insights into evolving constitutional landscapes.
