More from wiki...
.."From Landau's bio, per wiki:
.."Landau was born in Madrid, Spain, where his father, George Landau (later United States Ambassador to Paraguay, Chile, and Venezuela), was then stationed with the Foreign Service. His father, who was Jewish, was born in Vienna and fled to South America after the Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938. Landau was raised Catholic.
Landau attended the American School of Asunción, Paraguay, for five years. He is fluent in Spanish which he learned from childhood..."
.." He earned his Bachelor of Arts in history, summa cum laude, from Harvard College in 1985, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa his junior year, earned a Certificate in Latin American Studies, and received the Sophia Freund Prize for the highest grade point average in his graduating class. He wrote his senior thesis, which was awarded the Hoopes Prize, on US RELATIONS WITH THE LEFTIST GOVERNMENT OF VENEZUELA IN THE MID 1940s.
He received his Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School in 1989, where he was articles co-chair of the Harvard Law Review and won the Sears Prize for the highest grade-point average in his second year..."

By July 2020, Landau's follower count had exploded to 245,000, in what Slate described as providing "an unexpected lesson in American digital diplomacy."
Finally, apart from his own Supreme Court appearances, Landau served as a Trustee of the United States Supreme Court Historical Society, (SCHS) and Chair of the Society's Programs Committee.
Again per wiki, .."The SCHS describes itself as "a Washington, D.C.–based private, nonpartisan, not for profit 501(c)(3) membership organization dedicated to preserving and communicating the history of the U.S. Supreme Court, increasing public awareness of the Court’s contribution to our nation’s rich constitutional heritage, and acquiring knowledge covering the history of the entire Judicial Branch.
