Before embarking on an academic career, Uhlmann served as assistant attorney general in the Ford administration as well as special assistant to the President during Ronald Reagan’s first term in office.
Dr. Uhlmann is a frequent contributor to the Claremont Review of Books, most recently with the articles, “The Supreme Court v. the Constitution of the United States of America,” and “The Right Stuff,” an eloquent panegyric of the life, writings, and talent of William F. Buckley, Jr. Other articles written by Dr. Uhlmann have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, National Review, The American Spectator, Washington Times, Crisis, and Human Life Review.

When not in academia or serving in the executive branch, Dr. Uhlmann practiced law in the Washington office of Pepper, Hamilton, and Scheetz, where he was a partner specializing in antitrust, insurance, and environmental law.
He received his undergraduate degree from Yale, his law degree from the University of Virginia, and his Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate University.
Dr. Uhlmann’s graduate seminars on the Presidency and Congressional-Executive relations are among the most popular at Claremont, often forcing the registrar to over-enroll to satisfy students eager to take his classes. With his quirky sense of humor, poetic ear, and sincere enthusiasm for teaching, Dr. Uhlmann has earned a reputation at Claremont as an elegant lecturer and generous mentor.
