Adam White Joins the Manhattan Institute

The Manhattan Institute is pleased to announce that lawyer and commentator Adam White is joining the Manhattan Institute as an adjunct fellow and a contributing editor to City Journal. A lawyer at the boutique firm Boyden Gray and Associates in Washington, he has practiced for years on matters of constitutional law as well as energy and financial regulation. He has also commented on these topics in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, and Commentary. He has contributed to City Journal on several occasions, and he is a contributing editor to National Affairs and The New Atlantis. He also co-chairs the judicial review committee of the American Bar Association’s section on administrative law; he serves on the Federalist Society’s executive committee on administrative law; and he serves on the advisory board for the Resources First Foundation, an organization promoting conservation among private landowners.

Manhattan Institute President Lawrence Mone said, “Adam excels at translating complicated legal and regulatory matters into terms that everyone can understand. He has already written several excellent pieces for City Journal, and we are very excited for him to become more involved with the Manhattan Institute. I look forward to reading his future contributions.”

City Journal Editor Brian Anderson said, “Whether he’s writing on financial regulations or constitutional issues or public life in general, Adam White is one of the sharpest young thinkers out there; we’re thrilled to have him on board as a new City Journal contributing editor.”

In a 2012 column on “the Conservative Future,” the New York Times’s David Brooks featured Adam alongside other “Burkean Revivalists,” who advocate “an approach to jurisprudence and regulatory affairs based on modesty.”

Adam White is a graduate of the University of Iowa and Harvard Law School. He clerked for Judge David B. Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. More information on his background and writing is available here and here.
