Meyerson is a professor of law and Piper & Marbury Faculty Fellow at the University of Baltimore, specializing in constitutional law and legal history. He is the author of three books, including Endowed by Our Creator: The Birth of Religious Freedom in America, and numerous law review articles and book chapters.

In 2004, Dr. Walter B. Shurden and Dr. Kay W. Shurden of Macon, Ga., made a gift to the BJC to establish the annual lectureship. The Shurden Lecturer is someone who can inspire and call others to an ardent commitment to religious freedom and the separation of church and state.
