Examples of use of Professoriate
1. McConnell‘s good standing with the legal professoriate helped him immeasurably during the confirmation process; more than 300 of his fellow professors, including many liberals, endorsed him for the bench.
2. Scalia and Thomas are the idea‘s most prominent adherents, but Scalia wrote in a new book the organization published this year that while he and Thomas have put originalism "in the game," it "would be foolish to pretend that that philosophy has become (as it once was) the dominant mode of interpretation in the courts, or even that it is the irresistible wave of the future." Scalia said courts and law schools embrace the alternate view of a "living Constitution" and so too does the ordinary citizen, "who has come to believe that what he violently abhors must be unconstitutional." "It is no easy task to wean the public, the professoriate and (especially) the judiciary away from such a seductive and judge–empowering philosophy," he said.
