Scholarship and Biography

After receiving a law degree at the University of Georgia, I received a Ph.D. in American History at Boston College. My doctoral dissertation explored the Pragmatic jurisprudence of Henry J. Friendly, a long time judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and perhaps the greatest of Louis Brandeis' law clerks. I have been teaching law at Brandeis on a part-time basis since 1998, and began the duties of a full time instructor in the Legal Studies program in 2015. I am currently working on a book about the origins of the public monuments of Boston.
