Holding a named chair professorship at a major U.S. university is a pretty reliable indicator of academic notability and of being regarded as a significant expert. In this case he has two named chair appointments at the University of Virginia Law School: Robert E. Scott Distinguished Professor of Law and Philosophy and the Albert Clark Tate, Jr. Research Professor.

ALI members are elected http://www.ali.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=about.membership, so being a member is an indicator of notability as well. A search of the AMI membership directoryhttp://www.ali.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=directory.viewmembers confirms that he is an elected member. Appears to satisfy
