Robert Peck

Robert S. Peck has spent nearly five decades as an appellate and constitutional law attorney, arguing precedent-setting cases in the U.S. Supreme Court and more than two dozen state supreme courts. Justices from two additional state supreme courts have retained him to represent them in constitutional matters. He developed groundbreaking constitutional challenges to laws that impede access to courts, and is among the most sought-after appellate litigators in the plaintiffs' bar. Peck began as a civil rights and civil liberties lawyer and has taught advanced constitutional law as an adjunct professor at George Washington University and American University law schools. He is a past chair of the Board of Advisors of the RAND Corporation's Institute for Civil Justice, past president of the U.S. Supreme Court Fellows Alumni Association, and a former board member of the National Center for State Courts. He holds an LL.M. from Yale Law School (1990), a J.D. from New York University/Cleveland State University (1978), and a B.A. from George Washington University (1975).
