'Following his failure to be confirmed, Bork resigned his seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and was for several years a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank. Bork also consulted for Netscape in the Microsoft litigation. Bork was a fellow at the Hudson Institute. He served as a visiting professor at the University of Richmond School of Law and was a professor at Ave Maria School of Law in Naples, FL. In 2011, Bork worked as a legal adviser for the presidential campaign of Republican Mitt Romney.[34] . . .

Bork died of complications from heart disease at the Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Virginia, on December 19, 2012.[1][45][46] Following his death, Scalia referred to Bork as "one of the most influential legal scholars of the past 50 years" and "a good man and a loyal citizen." Mike Lee, Senator from Utah, called Bork "one of America's greatest jurists and a brilliant legal mind."[47]'
