He received his J.D., magna cum laude, from Cornell, where he was articles editor of the Cornell Law Review and inducted into Order of the Coif.

Fletcher of the Georgia Supreme Court. He taught previously at the University of Arizona College of Law, where he was voted Teacher of the Year for 2006-2007 by the student body. His work has appeared in the Cornell Law Review, Vanderbilt Law Review, the University of Illinois Law Review, and other leading journals.
