Editorial : About the Author Thomas W. Simon’s dual role as a professor of philosophy (Illinois State University since 1992) and practicing attorney (licensed in DC, Illinois, and Maryland) has informed his writings and activities. He received a Liberal Arts Fellowship in Law and Philosophy at Harvard Law School (1988-89); attended the Hague Academy of International Law (1995); and taught at the University of Ljubljana Law Faculty (Slovenia) as a Fulbright Scholar (1999).
