Dr. Pilon received a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Chicago and a J.D. from George Washington University.  In serving as publisher of the highly regarded Cato Supreme Court Review, a journal he helped found in 2001, he has stood at the forefront of an intellectual movement that seeks to “examine those [Supreme Court] decisions and cases in the light cast by the nation’s first principles—liberty and limited government—as articulated in the Declaration of Independence and secured by the Constitution.” Dr. Pilon joined the AHI’s Board of Academic Advisors in August 2015.
