John F. Manning is a prominent American legal academic and the Bruce Bromley Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1985, and served that year as a law clerk to Judge Robert H. Bork at the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He then served as law clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia for the Supreme Court's 1988 term.[1]

Manning was brought to Harvard Law School by Dean Elena Kagan to help shore up HLS' expertise in public law; he is an expert in administrative law and a constitutional scholar of textualism.[2] Manning's hiring, along with that of Jack Goldsmith, has "helped assuage complaints that Harvard marginalized conservative views."[2] Manning is also an expert on separation of powers issues.[3] On July 23rd 2012, the Supreme Court appointed Manning amicus curiae, in Sebelius v. Auburn Regional Medical Center. He argued the case on December 4th 2012.[4]
