Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan referred to Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law professor and novelist, as "one of the lights of his generation." He is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and writes a weekly column for Bloomberg View, making him a public intellectual for his time. He was listed as one of the "75 most influential persons of the twenty-first century" by Esquire. Feldman is a Senior Fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard University and teaches constitutional and international law at the Harvard Law School. He speaks four languages, is an authority on Islamic philosophy and law, the separation of church and state, and the U.S. Supreme Court. He was fluent in Hebrew by the age of 15 and in Arabic by the time he was 18. During the constitution-writing process in Iraq, he worked as a senior constitutional counsel for the Coalition Provisional Authority. Feldman is a frequent speaker on international affairs and what he refers to as the intersection of ideas and real-world power politics, including the development of U.S.-China relations and the future of Islam and democracy in the Middle East. New York magazine named him one of the three most influential contemporary idea-drivers. The conflicts and victories of FDR's great justices are vividly depicted in Feldman's book Scorpions: The Battles and Triumphs of FDR's Great Justices, which Publishers Weekly deemed a top-notch piece of narrative history. His earlier works include What We Owe Iraq, Divided by God, The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State, and After Jihad. He is working on a James Madison biography..
