Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz graduated from Yale College and Yale Law School. After law school, he clerked for Judge Frank H. Easterbrook on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (1999-2000) and for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy at the U.S. Supreme Court (October Term 2001).

He serves on the Justice Advisory Committee for the John McCain 2008 campaign.
