Kermit Roosevelt works in a diverse range of fields, focusing on constitutional law and conflict of laws.

He has also published in the Virginia Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, and the Columbia Law Review, among others. He represents a detainee in the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He also is the author of a novel, In the Shadow of the Law (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2005).
