Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz

Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz (born November 28, 1970) is an American legal scholar. He writes and teaches in the fields of constitutional law, statutory interpretation, and federal jurisdiction. He is the son of billionaire investor and philanthropist Robert Rosenkranz.

Rosenkranz clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy and served as an attorney-advisor in the Office of Legal Counsel. He regularly contributes legal commentary for news media, including Fox News, PBS, C-SPAN, and other media organizations. His work has been cited by Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.

Rosenkranz is the son of billionaire investor Robert Rosenkranz and Margaret "Peggy" Hill. His father is Jewish. His sister, Stephanie Rosenkranz Hessler, is also a legal scholar and a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

Rosenkranz is a graduate of Phillips Academy, Yale University (Bachelor of Arts, English, 1992), and Yale Law School (Juris Doctor, 1999). At law school, he was also an Olin Fellow in Law and Economics.

After graduating law school, Rosenkranz clerked for Judge Frank H. Easterbrook of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and for Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz was on a list the Trump White House sent to Schumer and Gillibrand in July that included three other names for the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where there were two vacancies: The other names were US District Judge Richard J. Sullivan; Matthew McGill, a partner at the law firm Gibson Dunn in Washington and Michael H. Park, a partner at the law firm Consovoy McCarthy Park in New York.

Rosenkranz has filed numerous briefs with, and presented oral arguments before, the Supreme Court. In 2013, the National Law Journal featured Rosenkranz's Supreme Court brief that argued that Missouri v. Holland was wrongly decided in Bond v. United States. Eight years prior to Bond v. United States (2013) Rosenkranz had written a similar article in the Harvard Law Review, Executing the Treaty Power, arguing that Missouri v. Holland had been wrongly decided.

From 2002 to 2004 Rosenkranz served as an attorney-advisor at the Office of Legal Counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice. In 2016 he served as Senior Advisor on Legal Policy and Constitutional Law for candidate Marco Rubio during Rubio's 2016 election campaign. He had previously been a member of 2008 presidential candidate John McCain's Justice Advisory Committee during the United States presidential election of 2008.
