He has served as Hauser Global Research Fellow at NYU law school (2003-04) and Visiting Senior Research Scholar at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University (2011-12).

He has twice won the Wadsworth Award for an article or book published at least 10 years earlier that has had a lasting impact on the field of law and courts, first for “Predicting Supreme Court Decisions Probabilistically: the Search and Seizure Cases (1962-1981), (1984 American Political Science Review) and next for The Supreme Court and the Attitudinal Model (with Harold J. Spaeth, 1993 Cambridge University Press). He has also won Green Bag’s award for excellence in legal writing, plus an ABA-sponsored national award for innovation in teaching law and courts, and is a Guggenheim fellowship award recipient for 2011-12. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2012.
