Overview
William A. Jacobson is a legal blogger and Cornell Law School professor, and a Hamilton College alumnus. He is best known as the founder of Legal Insurrection, a conservative legal and political commentary blog.
Relevance to Research
Jacobson appears in the September 26, 1958 issue of The Spectator in a list of Chi Psi fraternity members, identified as “William Jacobson.” The list appears to be a roster of fraternity members for the 1958-59 academic year.
Notes
The Spectator lists him only as “William Jacobson” — the middle initial “A.” is not given. The mention is a bare name in a fraternity roster and contains no other biographical detail. Identification as William A. Jacobson is based on external knowledge of his Hamilton attendance and Chi Psi membership; some ambiguity remains.
