University of Virginia and the University of Chicago.
For over 30 years, Jamil has worked in the areas of
history, education, and public policy, including lead-
ership posts at the Federation of State Humanities
Council and the American Historical Association. He
has also taught the history of American law at Georgia
Tech, Emory, and Georgetown Law Center.
He is the co-author of Law and Jurisprudence in
American History, a casebook published by West
Publishing Company, now in its 8th edition.
In 2014 he began to publish “ Jamil’s Georgia,” week-
ly columns in the Saporta Report where members of
the Georgia Humanities Council and their colleagues
discuss Georgia’s history, culture, and other stories
that matter.
