Professor John F. Duffy wrote that the Director of Patent and Trademark Office appointed the judges, which likely violates the appointments clause of the Constitution.

Mea culpa. My fingers were faster than my brain. Professor Duffy has been with GW since 2003.

The law school you're thinking of is the "George Washington University Law School," unconnected with Georgetown.
