VA. SCHOOL NAMES BORK TO FACULTY

Former federal judge Robert H. Bork, whose nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court was rejected by the Senate in 1987, is joining the law school faculty at George Mason University.

Bork, 63, will teach a constitutional law class at George Mason next fall.

He joins a list of prominent names at the law school that includes Douglas H. Ginsburg, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Bork previously taught law at Yale University, the University of Chicago and the University of South Carolina.

Bork said he chose George Mason because the school stresses the relationship between legal issues and economics.

Ginsburg also was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to serve on the Supreme Court. But his nomination was blocked by members of Congress who were concerned about his conservative political views and his admission that he had smoked marijuana.

Bork is a legal studies scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington. He was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1982, where he served until 1988.
