THE REHNQUIST CENTER
The William H. Rehnquist Center on the Constitutional Structures of Government was established in 2006 at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law. The non-partisan center honors the legacy of Chief Justice Rehnquist by encouraging public understanding of the structural constitutional themes that were integral to his jurisprudence: the separation of powers among the three branches of the federal government, the balance of powers between the federal and state governments, and among sovereigns more generally, and judicial independence.

Andrew Coan is a Professor of Law at the James E. Rogers College of Law, The University of Arizona. You can reach him by e-mail at andrew.coan at gmail.com
