About the Author

Dr. Michael Arnheim is an English

Barrister who also sits periodically as a

court-appointed mediator. In addition,

he is a member of the Irish Bar and is of

counsel to Brown & Welsh P.C. of Meriden,

Connecticut.

Michael Arnheim’s active interest in the

U.S. Constitution started with a comparative paper he wrote at the age of 17,

for which he was awarded a special prize in the Royal Commonwealth Society

Essay competition. As a junior barrister he wrote a fortnightly column in the

Solicitors Journal, in which he dealt with U.S. constitutional issues among

others. He has also written on U.S. constitutional themes for publications

such as the New Law Journal and Counsel magazine. In 1994, he was invited

to edit the comparative Common Law volume in the prestigious International

Library of Essays in Law and Legal Theory, published by Ashgate Dartmouth.

He has also been consulted on matters involving immigration, healthcare,

protectionism, states’ rights, and same-sex marriage.

Dr. Arnheim is the author of numerous articles and 15 books to date,

including the following titles: Drafting Settlements of Disputes (Tolley, 1994),

Civil Courts Practice & Procedure Handbook (Butterworths, 1999), A Handbook

of Human Rights Law (Kogan Page, 2004), and Principles of the Common Law

(Duckworth, 2004).

Dr. Arnheim has been interviewed on television on a number of occasions,

particularly in South Africa and Sweden. In 1985 he spent several enjoyable

hours on David Brudnoy’s radio talk show on WRKO in Boston, elding calls

from listeners on topical legal and political issues.

Michael Arnheim started life as a member of the “Quiz Kids” team on South

African national radio. He went to university at 16, took his rst degree when

he was 19, received a First Class Honours degree at 20, and was awarded a

master’s degree (with distinction) at age 21. He then won a national scholarship

to St. John’s College, Cambridge, where he took his PhD and was elected a

Fellow of the College.

After spending several years researching and teaching Classics and Ancient

History as a Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge, at the age of 31 he was

appointed a full Professor and Head of the Department of Classics at his

original university in South Africa. Returning to Britain, he was called to the

English Bar by Lincoln’s Inn in 1988.
