Bio
Professor Jacob has been a law professor at Regent University since January 2001.
God has used his career in wonderful, exciting ways, beginning in a big-firm law practice and including years as a religious liberty lawyer, in Christian ministry leadership, and in Christian higher education.
His greatest professional passion is making a difference in the lives of law students – both within the classroom as a law teacher, and outside the classroom as a mentor. He considers himself successful when his students leave Regent as highly educated lawyers committed to impacting the world for the Kingdom of Christ.
Most of his teaching and scholarship is in the area of constitutional law. His published articles include AGriswold and the Defense of Traditional Marriage” in the North Dakota Law Review; “Will the Real Constitutional Originalist Please Stand Up?” in the Creighton Law Review; “Back to Basics: Constitutional Meaning and ‘Tradition,’” in the Texas Tech Law Review; and “Free Exercise in the ‘Lobbying Nineties,’” in the Nebraska Law Review.
