Lindsay came to the ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ from Harvard Law School, where he served for two years as a Climenko Fellow and Lecturer in Law. After graduating from Yale Law School in 2002, he clerked for Judge Louis H. Pollak of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Following his clerkship, Lindsay was awarded a fellowship by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, where he was a Visiting Scholar from 2003 to 2005. He then practiced federal administrative law and patent litigation at Foley Hoag LLP, in Boston, from 2005 to 2007.

His scholarship centers on the formation of the modern American constitutional order in the decades between the Civil War and the New Deal, and seeks to bring critical historical perspective to bear on two broad areas of constitutional law: the regulation of noncitizens within the United States, and the contemporary revival of constitutional economic liberty as a constraint on regulatory authority. Professor Lindsay’s current book project, The Constitution of Foreignness: Immigration, Free Labor, and Race in the United States, 1776–1924, is under contract with Cambridge University Press. It explores the transformation of American immigration law and policy during the first 150 years of the nation’s history. His scholarship has appeared in the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, Iowa Law Review, Florida Law Review, Harvard Law Review Forum, and Connecticut Law Review, among other journals.
