Supreme Court associate justice Clarence Thomas will not be teaching law at George Washington University in the fall, as he’s done since 2011, Politico reported.
“Justice Thomas has informed me that he is unavailable to co-teach the seminar this fall,” Gregory Maggs, who has been Thomas’s co-instructor in the past, reportedly wrote in an email. “I know that this is disappointing. I am very sorry.”
