Edward Sisson

Edward Sisson has worn a variety hats throughout his career. After graduating with a B.S. in Architecture from M.I.T., he served as the non-profit executive director and producer (avant-garde) for a San Francisco-based theater. His most notable accomplishment during this period was overseeing a production of George Coates' famous performance piece Actual Sho, which was then subsequently selected by the U.S. State Dept. for presentation behind the Iron Curtain. Returning to school in 1991, he would then graduate magna cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center, after which he would eventually be made partner of the Arnold & Porter law firm. His legal career highlights include securing the first-ever posthumous Presidential Pardon for West Point's first African-American graduate Lt. Henry Flipper (class of 1877), helping form both the US Committee for Human Rights in North Korea and the Boroumand Foundation for Democracy and Human Rights in Iran, and regularly offering support to advocates of intelligent design, most notably during the 2005 Kansas Evolution Hearings. Since retiring from practicing law in 2006, Sisson has dedicated his time to writing and research, primarily focusing on political history and principles of government. His work is available to read on Kindle, Quora, and the Social Science Research Network.
