Wall Street Journal reporter Jess Bravin, who has been covering the Supreme Court, is expanding his beat, with the Journal looking to hire another Supreme Court reporter.
“I’m expanding my focus beyond the Supreme Court to include broader enterprise reporting on the major issues involving the executive branch and the legal system,” he said in an email. He will continue to report on important Supreme Court cases.
Bravin previously had postings as United Nations correspondent and editor of the WSJ/California weekly.
His books include “The Terror Courts,” an account of military trials at Guantanamo Bay, and “Squeaky: The Life and Times of Lynette Alice Fromme,” along with contributions to “Violence in America: An Encyclopedia, Crimes of War 2.0 and A Concise Introduction to Logic” (2nd ed.).
A regent emeritus of the University of California, Bravin has delivered the John Field Simms Sr. Memorial Lecture in Law at the University of New Mexico, served on the Berkeley, Calif., Police Review Commission, and taught at the UC Washington Center.
He is a graduate of Harvard College and holds a law degree from UC Berkeley.
