Mark F. Walsh is a reporter specializing in coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Walsh writes the Supreme Court Report column for the ABA Journal, the magazine of the American Bar Association. He is a regular contributor to SCOTUSblog, the website devoted to coverage of the Court. For that website, Walsh writes the “View from the Courtroom” feature, which documents unusual occurrences in the courtroom such as dissents from the bench.

Walsh is also a contributing writer to Education Week, where has covered education issues in the Supreme Court and lower courts for more than twenty-five years. He previously served as Washington editor of Education Week, in which he supervised coverage of federal education policy matters, as well as the 2004 and 2008 presidential and congressional elections.

Walsh has a degree in journalism, with a minor in political science, from Northwestern University. He has also studied political science at Georgetown University and lectured at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. (That last one was only once, but, hey, it’s Harvard.)

He lives in Washington, D.C.
